Nominate Someone

Want to write a letter? Or know someone who should?

Somewhere right now, a young person is walking into a room they are not ready for. They are smart enough to be there and inexperienced enough to get it wrong. They are going to learn what you learned — the hard way, on someone else's time, with real consequences.

Unless someone tells them first.

That is what this is. Not a podcast. Not a panel. A letter, written by someone who has been in that room, addressed to the person who just walked in.

Two ways to contribute

If you want to write it yourself, we will help you shape it. If you would rather start with a conversation, we will get on a thirty-minute call, ask you five questions, and send you a first draft in your voice. You approve everything before it goes anywhere.

Who belongs here

You do not have to be famous. You have to have figured something out.

The best letters will not necessarily come from the people you have heard of. They will come from the operator in your city who built something real, made the mistakes that mattered, and came out the other side knowing things worth saying. If that is you, write the letter.

Nominate Someone:

Think about the person whose career made you believe that yours was possible. The one whose advice you still use, whose example you still follow. They probably do not think of themselves as someone worth hearing from. That is exactly why you should nominate them.

In the message box below, enter:

  • Their name

  • Their role and company

  • Their industry

  • Why they belong here

  • Your relationship to them

  • Their contact if you have it

Every person who's written a letter was asked directly by someone who thought they had something worth saying. If you're reading this, that someone is you.
