Well, we hadn’t planned it this way!
But this post about Elon turned out to be highly timely, given last night’s results in Wisconsin and today's news that Trump may kick him out of the inner circle.
Last Feb I casually posted this neck stretch on Instagram (that I thought everyone knew 🤷♀️) and it blew up in a way I couldn’t imagine. It’s now been viewed over 8 million times 🫣😬🤣 and has brought so many wonderful people into my world.

A PERSONAL SHARE
I have one subscriber who reads a single chapter of my book every week, than emails me every Sunday morning with his feedback.
He's 75, and has no idea how to use the Substack app. He will never see this note.
It makes my entire week when I get his email. He is a wonderful soul, funny and lovely, and he keeps me moving forward.
How do I even repay that?
To get a better idea of how this all started I suggest a book by Nancy MacLean "Democracy in Chains". A real page turner. In it she follows the career of James Buchanan who labored in the wilderness from the early 1950's, crafting his policies until he met Charles Koch in the 70's. Koch being the masterful businessman that he is, took over Buchanan's policies and framework. With the millions he poured into it, it took off until it is what we have today. That book gives a more comprehensive and detailed critique, necessary to fight this ideology.
