### **The Professional Freelancer by Anna Codrea-Rado**

The most interesting substack newsletter I’d happily recommend is Anna Codrea-Rado’s “The Professional Freelancer”. It’s a perfect example of what you’d call a page-turner, full of advice, both big and small, for freelancers. Anna really commands a certain respect and authority that elevates the newsletter above the rest.The events for members are a delight, podcasts are fun, and the Slack group is a really nice addition, with a welcoming and fun community.

### **Common Sense by Barri Weiss**

If investigative reporting is your thing, and you’re looking for objective, impartial commentary on the Zeitgeist of the world we currently live in, then Barri Weiss’s “Common Sense” is a must-subscribe. Her newsletter’s raison d’etre is what piqued my interest and I’m glad to have joined it.

> There are tens of millions of Americans who aren’t on the hard left or the hard right who feel that the world has gone mad. Science is at the mercy of politics. Identity trumps ideas. In the name of progress, art is erased and history is rewritten. Obvious truths are dangerous to say out loud.This newsletter is for those people.

It’s for people who want to understand the world as it is, not the world as some wish it to be. It’s for people who seek the truth rather than the comfort of a team or a tribe. It’s for people who prefer to think for themselves.” I wholeheartedly recommend it.

### **The Pomp Letter by Anthony Pompliano**

This newsletter is perfect for those who are seeking information on Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and other digital assets. Pompliano offers commentary on market trends and research in addition to a daily newsletter to investors with current content. Investors can only gain through investing in their education and knowledge. An investor will be on a comfortable route if they understand company and investment trends. All of the subjects, concepts, and projects that are included in The Pomp Letter are covered in full which the subscriber can peruse at their own pace.

### **Matt Taibbi**

Matt Taibbi famously wrote about Goldman Sachs that it was a “great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.” That’s a great line that came from a great writer. I like to follow great writers when I can and there’s no other Substack newsletter that I am more eager to read than Taibbi’s – even when he’s drifting into territories that I don’t typically get interested in. You always know that his content will be thought-provoking, deep and often hilarious.

### **ReadOn!**

At the top of my list of Substack newsletters to follow is ReadOn! These are new-age, research-based, no-nonsense financial news writers who try to make financial news more accessible to the general public.

> Every day they send short newsletters of handpicked, well-researched, and jargon-free news to their subscribers’ emails. According to the people at ReadOn!, mainstream media makes financial news boring to the people needing it the most, such as students and professionals.

Consequently, they appeal to business enthusiasts by using examples from the real world to make news fun and understandable.

### **Flow State**

Flow State is a unique music-based Substack newsletter. This newsletter delivers 2 hours of music to your inbox at 3 am. The early time slot was chosen for people heading out to work, so it is available in time for the beginning of their workday. These tracks were curated to help foster a state of creative flow while at work. Subscribers also get access to over 300 hours of focus music, as well as a Tuesday podcast mix. One thing that piques my interest about Flow State is that it is an all-natural selection of liberating music chosen from recommendations of other people—no algorithms involved.

### **Luke O ’Neil**

Luke O ’Neil is one of the best substack newsletters to follow. Substack is a platform for writers and content creators to convert subscribers into paying customers through an email subscription newsletter.

> Luke O ’Neil is one of the best substack newsletters. It was started in 2018 by Luke to share his reporting and essays on various topics. The newsletter covers a diverse range of topics. He reports freely to tell what he sees as important in a failing world.

It is tied through the theme of the world transforming into a pit of despair. Out of his 7000 total, he has over 1100paid subscribers. Luke O ’Neil writes to tell stories beyond the traditional news. Now he is turning his writing into a published book.

### **Mike Gardon**

Mike Gardon is someone that I would recommend following on Substack! Mike shares about how he broke his career on purpose and now wants to help others do the same. If you want a new job, a better career or to break out of work – this newsletter is for you!

### **Grit Capital by Genevieve Roch-Decter**

Grit Capital is a clear-cut finance email newsletter by a former $100 million hedge fund manager. It uses easy jargon that makes it possible to understand investing, stocks, the economy, and your money. The author, Genevieve Roch-Decter, teaches how to turn around your finances in easy steps that fit your situation. She also interviews industry leaders to help you get a better perspective on money. The best thing about the newsletter is that it is free, thereby easily accessible.
