⚓️ this week in LBI: 1/4/24

Mornin’!

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

I also want to clarify a few questions from the poll that was sent last week. To be clear, this newsletter that you love will always be free and that’s not changing. The “premium” newsletter would be an optional subscription offered to those looking for a bit more robust calendar of events and additional perks. Sorry for any confusion that caused and thanks to all of you who left feedback!

P.S. Wishing a 🥳 (belated) Happy Birthday 🥳 (on the 2nd) to Bobbi B.!
