Thank you
Thank you.
We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here in Ireland, but one thing I do like about it is it’s nice to have an annual reminder to express gratitude.
There’s a lot of promotional email in your inbox right now, and I’ll be honest, I gave very strong consideration to creating an offer just for this time. But it feels kind of disingenuous to me. Maybe that will change next year and I’ll be sending you some kind of deal. But for now, I just want to thank you for opening and reading this email, and for paying me the honour of something hugely valuable: your attention.
I appreciate every one of the nearly 500 people who are subscribed to this email list, and the several thousand people who listen to my podcast every month. It’s an incredible honour, and I try to repay that by making sure that everything I create is a worthwhile use of your time to read, listen, or watch.
Ironically, this email will probably be the least “valuable” email that I have sent to this list, but nevertheless, thank you!
Alastair.

Rather than add to the uninformed speculation I figured the best thing to do is talk with an actual lawyer about this! And who better than Erin Austin, Esq, a lawyer who specializes in IP...
Chris Do is the epitome of a thought leader. I've been following his work for years as he's grown The Futur from a mere 200,000 followers on YouTube all the way to 2.4 million and growing. I had the pleasure of interviewing him on The Recognized Authority several years ago, and I knew that he'd be a great guest for The AI-Powered Thought Leader because he's considered and thoughtful. Chris and I discussed the overlap between AI and authentic thought leadership, and the challenges and...
I may have a Guinness World Record. I don’t know if they have “Longest Time to Start a Podcast” record, but if they do I have that locked in. I first started planning a podcast in July 2014, and it pains me to say that it took nearly 7 years before I actually launched The Recognized Authority in April of 2021. There were good reasons for delay… but probably not on the order of 7 years! When I think how much further I’d be now if I had started 3 or 4 years earlier, I regret that the delay was...
