Block, build, be

A conversation about the work ahead with Anya Kamenetz, creator of The Golden Hour

This week, I’m sharing my conversation with

, the creator of The Golden Hour, a newsletter about “thriving and caring for others on a rapidly changing planet. Anya and I announced a new partnership recently — now, when you sign up for an annual paid subscription to Untangled, you’ll get free access to the paid version of The Golden Hour — and we wanted to talk about it, and the work ahead.

Along the way, we also discuss:

  • How we’re adapting our newsletters in response to the election.

  • Why mitigating harms isn’t sufficient, and a framework that can help us all orient to the present moment: block, build, be.

  • How we consume information — our mindsets, habits, and practices — and also, why ‘consume’ isn’t the right frame.

  • The difference between social media connections and email-based relationships.

  • How to talk to your kids about the election.

  • The fragmentation of the news media environment and why it’s a good thing.

I couldn’t be more excited to partner with Anya and introduce you to her work. Enjoy!

More soon,

Charley
