Your Superorganizers Membership Just Got More Valuable!

Hello Premium Members!

Big announcement: as of today, you have access to all of the behind-the-paywall content for Divinations, a newsletter about business strategy by my good friend Nathan Baschez.

Normally, Divinations costs $20 a month. But access is now included in your Superorganizers subscription — for free!

All you have to do is reply to tell me you want in (or click the button below) and I’ll give you access.

What is Divinations?

So what is Divinations, and who is Nathan Baschez? Well, you know in A Beautiful Mind when John Nash is writing long and complicated equations on the window?

Nathan is like that about business. He’s a former founder, who turned to business strategy to help him understand why his previous startup didn’t work out. He dove deep into the strategy greats — Porter, Christensen, Helmer — and immersed himself in everything from economics, to psychology, to history. And when he talks about business you can tell; he’s probably the only person who prefers to explain why it’s better to live in the moment by referencing the time value of money.

Now, if all of that sounds complicated, you’re in luck. Because Nathan also has something else: he has the ability to make the complex simple. 

He started with rangy explainers that make dry, complicated business strategy topics compelling and easy to understand — like this explainer on Michael Porter's Five Forces framework.

But he didn't stop there. He did a banger of a post on the four strategies that can explain every successful business on the planet — something that gave me a lot to think about as I tried to break down the business strategy for Superorganizers.

Recently he's turned his attention to analyzing specific companies and their strategies. Like this post on Quibi's launch, or this one on Sonos's competitive advantage (or lack thereof), or most recently a post on Why Roam is Cool (which should be relevant for Superorganizers fans!)

But, perhaps most compellingly, Nathan has also been spending a lot of time explaining this moment. We're all anxiously wondering what COVID-19 is going to do to this economy. And there's no one like him to explain in sparklingly clear language exactly what might happen when the economy holds its breath.

Nathan's been churning out hit after hit over the last few months, and that's why I'm so excited to bring his behind-the-paywall content to the Superorganizers audience.

What’s included in Divinations Premium?

You now have access to everything Nathan does including:

• In-depth strategy explainers
• Bite-sized of-the-moment analysis of relevant companies
• Paywalled podcast episodes
• And more!

How the bundle works

Pulling off a bundle on Substack is somewhat clunky, because it’s not technically supported yet. But we’ve hacked together a solution that we’re pretty happy with.

We created a new Substack publication at everything.substack.com that has copies of all Divinations and Superorganizers posts. Any time we create a new post, we’ll post a copy of it there.

At the end of each week, we’ll send a digest email to all subscribers of everything.substack.com. It’ll link to all the posts we published that week. 

Reply to this email to claim access!

In order to get in, just reply to this email (or press the button below) and say you want in. We’ll grant you a free subscription to everything.substack.com, you’ll start receiving digest emails, and will be able to access all premium content from Divinations! 

I hope you love it. I’m a huge fan of Divinations, and I think you will be too.

Do you think this is great? Are you not interested? Let me know in the comments. The more feedback I have the more I can make a Superorganizers subscription work for you.

P.S. We’re looking to add more writers to the bundle! If you’re a writer that is interested in participating, please reach out.
