🎬 Let's kick this off - Jack of All Trades, Master of Some #1

What I learned from my MMA newsletter, and what this one will be about.

Hi everyone!

Happy to finally publish the first edition of Jack of All Trades, Master of Some (still considering whether the acronym JOATMOS sounds stupid), almost four months after sending the last email for my previous project, a weekly French-speaking newsletter about Mixed Martial Arts, that one sport where people get in a cage in their underwear to fight.

I ran that newsletter for two years, until I accepted the fact that barely anyone was reading it, and that I didn’t care all that much for it either.

Still, it was an interesting experiment, and I’ve decided to kick off this new writing venture of mine by putting down some of the lessons I’ve learned from it on paper. You can read all about it here:

If you get to read the article, let me know what you think! But given this is the first edition of my new newsletter, maybe I should give you the rundown on what I have in mind for it.

What is this newsletter going to be about?

My goal is to publish on a monthly basis. It’s probably not going to happen, which is great if you don’t like receiving too many emails, but I’m going to try.

As the title of the newsletter suggests, I’m interested in a lot of stuff. In the past, I’ve written about things like:

• Intercultural management in the global economy

• Apps and products such as Nanoblocks to Duolingo

• The basics of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), and the business dynamics behind it

• Language tests and learning to teach language

Going forward, I’ll do my best to gather my ramblings and share some of the most interesting content I run into online in this newsletter, every month.

I’ll keep it short for this first edition. Please reach out if you have suggestions, comments, or feedback, and have a great month of August.

Thank for reading!
