Before we get started…
Great News! I was named one of Medium’s top writers on climate change across their platform! (Yay!)
Now, why we are here. If you are receiving this now, it is because you signed up for my newsletter on Mailchimp. I am switching platforms so I can add posts, better distribution, podcasts, and zoom calls to interact with you.
May I ask a favor? Just reply to this email confirming you got it. I am just trying to make sure this new platform works correctly. Thanks!
You already know Intertwine, but in case you want a refresher, there is a description below. This week’s articles are also below. Here’s the good stuff…
What You Get with Intertwine
My new platform substack gives us new options—free and paid subscribers.
Free subscribers can read the essays directly as I publish them or through the links to other platforms where they are published. Posts will come out as published on substack, and the newsletter digest will come out about once a week, as it does now.
Paid subscribers get special benefits:
Premium ideas and insights on the world—Climate change, digitalization and disruption, COVID, political instability, the crypto curmudgeon, #MeToo, more
Creative ideas on how to live well in this world—implications, choices to make, opportunities we had not seen. Shaping postcapitalism, healing men, retirement planning for COVID
Exclusive: All my work on entrepreneurship, B2B sales, writing as a business.
Imaginative explorations of the deep heart, with poetry, commentary, and psychology—to develop an Eloquence of the Heart
Podcasts
Zoom conference calls for discussion of the week’s essays (starts in January 2022)

I intend Intertwine to facilitate good conversation—the kind that is thoughtful and insightful, the kind in which all parties are open to learning from each other, whether or not they ultimately come to agreement. The insights and perspectives will be fresh, the poems rich, the feelings strong. For my readers, I hope Intertwine will open life a little more and facilitate for you, in that great phrase of Joseph Campbell, “the experience of the rapture of being alive.”

The Vision for Intertwine
Intertwine is a newsletter of ideas, insight, and imagination for living better in a worsening world. We face so many challenges in the outer world—climate change, COVID, racial justice, #MeToo, and the disruption of our economic lives. But we also face inner challenges: a lack of creativity, facing the inner desert, emotional distance, and alienation from ourselves.
People often think that these are not related, but I do not accept that notion. Our collective inability to confront outer world problems stem directly from our own inner alienation. And vice versa. The two are tied together, which is to say, Intertwined.
At its core, Intertwine seeks to discover the future of who we are, how we will act, what we will do to contribute to this world of ours. It is for people who want to think more deeply and feel more richly in their experience of the world. It promotes the intersection of thought and feeling, inner and outer, preferring neither over the other, in recognition that both are essential to living well in a simultaneously complex, confusing, beautiful, incredible, disturbing world.
I will bring to you perspectives that you never considered, ideas that will change your mind, and creativity that will move your heart and soul. In my wildest dreams, you will challenge me back.
Cheers!
Anthony Signorelli
