[SIC] 172: Generous Genesis
Vol 4, Number 16
Hi all,
Hi from England, and Happy Christmas, as my in-laws would say. Happy holidays, everyone else. Gonna do something a little different this week. No new links, just thanks to the people who made time to make [SIC] Weekly and [SIC] Talks works this year. Out to my friends at Kouch Culture for inspo on this week’s title, to that end.
First, thanks a ton to my [SIC] Talks Guests and please check out the episodes with Ana Andjelic, Andrea Hernandez, Ariel Wengroff, Avery Booker, Brynn Wallner, Camella Ehlke, Casey Lewis, Cheryl Dunn, Davide Baroncini, Elva Ramirez, Ilirjana Alushaj, Jian DeLeon, Josh Peskowitz, Joy Howard, Ken Miller, Matt Hranek, Matt Klein, Mecyver, Michael Williams, Noah Wunsch, Paul Munford, Ryan McGinness, Sam Bompas, WilliamStrobeck (all on my grid @dietznutz on IG). Have a look back if you have a second this week, they’re not terrible.
And special thanks to Ben Pruess who did a ton of @mad_at_marketing episodes with me this year, as well as everyone who’s tuned into any or all of them.
Reminder: if you ‘watch’ any of the IG Lives on a laptop you’ll be able to open other tabs and listen, like a podcast. Recommended.
Beyond that, thanks again and thanks a million to the many friends, acquaintances and strangers who sent contributions to the newsletter this year. The quality and experience of this group is deep. And wild. Couldn’t do it without you;
Ali Rauh, Amina Gingold, Andrew Courtien, Andy Capper, Avery Booker, Ben Duhl, Ben Pruess, Benjamin Watkins, Cameron Farrelly, Campbell Dietz, Carsten Kritscher, Cavel Khan, Celeste Blewitt, Charla Caponi, Chris Domenick, Corey Tinelli, Dan Bradley, Danny Goldstein, David Bianchi, David Bloom, David Blue, Diana Hong, Elva Ramirez, Eric Martucci, Eric Matthies, Erik Lavoie, Fredrik Anderssen, Geoff Renaud, Gerhard Stochl, Gordon Hull, Heidi Hartwig, Iolanda Carvalho, Isaac Dietz, James Friedman, Jay Cox, Jeff Carvalho, Jian DeLeon, Joel Fowler, John Martin, John Rough, Josh Gardiner, Justin Montag, Ken Miller, Kenywn Forgenie, Kevin Tachman, Kyle Dropp, Lara Redmer, Laura Correnti, Liz Mantel, Marcella Farman-Dietz, Mark Searcy, Matisse Mittelman, Matt Lenski, Michael Miraflor, Mike Tkach, Moose Huerta, Nadege Winter, Navaz Batliwalla, Nick Dodziuk, Noah Wunsch, Polina Aranova, Ray Kang, Rich Hartell, Ricky Engelberg, Rob Hubbert, Ruba Abu-Nimah, Ruju Jasani, Sharese Bailey-Bullock, Steve Reed, Syd Allen Ash, Thomas Murphy, Tim Nolan, Tommy Cissel and Will Meeker (and it’s entirely possible I missed you, so if that’s the case my apologies and let me know).
It should go without saying that if you’ve got a contribution, or a bit of feedback, I’d love you to send it. In reply to this email or in my DMs any time. They’re open.
Final thing: In lieu of links this week - because we’ve all got family and friends and (hopefully not) Omicron to contend with over the holidays, here’s the 2021 looooong list of those sources in alphabetical order. All are worth checking out.
There are publishers, platforms, critical takes, insights reports, brand sites and even a couple of DAOs. A quick google search will take you to any of them. I started a database of them here, as an editable Google Doc. My faves / most cited are generally found in my Monday Media Diet from Why Is This Interesting a few months back, though new sources got added each and every week this year.
If you’ve got a minute and want to help me flesh it out, I wouldn’t mind… ;)
It’s open to everybody to add to and edit. Interested to see how it evolves.
See you next week,
Ben
