Letter from the Editor

A "Hello, world!" essay.

Nothing can be as astounding as life. Except for writing. Yes, of course, except for writing, the sole consolation.

As I approach 44, I often reflect on how life—and writing—still manage to surprise me. I never imagined I’d be writing a newsletter. But growing up, I always dreamed of becoming a writer. Maybe that dream might just come true in this second chapter of my life, where I’m rebuilding everything from scratch. Who knows?

I would've laughed if you told me a few years ago that I’d leave my career, company, savings, and loved ones behind to start over in a new country. Yet, here we are.

Why? Because my passion for writing refuses to fade. Paired with an insatiable curiosity, The Daily Core was born. If I could make this work, it would be a dream come true—reading and writing for a living.

I know I can't do this alone. That's where you come in. By subscribing, reading, sharing, and recommending The Daily Core, you’re helping to grow this into a thriving community.

After more than two decades in marketing and advertising, I’ve learned how overwhelming it is to navigate the endless stream of headlines and trends. That’s why I created The Daily Core: to cut through the noise and make sense of our world.

This newsletter is just the start of a larger vision. I dream of growing The Daily Core into a platform with side publications that provide clarity, context, and meaningful insights.

But this isn’t just about me—it’s about all of us. I want to hear from you. What excites you? What frustrates you? What makes you pause and think? What brings you joy? What are your secret passions? The Daily Core is about sparking conversations as much as delivering insights.

This is just the beginning. I feel incredibly fortunate that you're here at the start of this journey. It’s a pleasure to share this with you, and I hope The Daily Core becomes part of your daily routine.

Thank you for being here, and let’s build this community together.
