Hi, I’m Dave, and I Make Things
I’m an artist, designer, and author. My real job, though, is the relentless pursuit of fearless creativity, both in myself and in the encouragement of others. Subscribe to The Hungry, and I just may challenge your beliefs.
Why Hungry?
I have a business newsletter called The Hungry where I talk about ideas around creative business, specifically how to attract people by sharing stories in ways that turn them from casual followers into loyal fans and customers. Check out The Hungry.
So, what’s the deal with this publication?
I used to run The Hungry through Substack, but I moved it to Kit.com, a more robust platform, for a few reasons. However, I still wanted a space to share more personal stories about my experience.
I left Substack because of some poor decisions made by the leadership in 2023—call it a boycott. Although they haven’t fixed everything, Substack has since amended its policies, and I’m giving the platform the benefit of the doubt.
On The Hungry, I focus a lot on how newsletters can impact our creative businesses in positive ways, and because Substack is a low barrier to entry for many, I get questions about the platform often. I believe it’s in the best interest of myself and others to stay connected to this platform to experiment and remain informed about it.
The Best Stuff is Free
Once a week, I’ll share a post on my thoughts, experiences, ideas, personal stories, and challenges that I hope will entertain and benefit you.
Just because it’s free doesn’t mean you get less value. It’s my goal to deliver the best quality content I can for everyone.
