You Have A Message From The Author Of Carrot Lane (Formerly-Blockchain People)

I've got some exciting news for you.

As a writer, few things are more rewarding than knowing that your work is being read and appreciated by others. 

So I want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone. 

Whether you're a regular reader or just stumbled upon my Newsletter for the first time, I appreciate your interest and hope you continue to find value in the topics I write about.

No sob story here but ten months ago, my mother died suddenly, and it lit the fire in my belly and ignited a passion in me to pursue writing words on the internet full time. 

And here I am.

Self promotion makes me cringe so there's no sales pitch here either. So you have confidence in what you're reading, you should know that I've quickly become one of the most viewed writers on Medium (soon to be Substack ;) within various finance and business genres, leaning on my experience running an eCommerce business for five years and six years working at a FTSE 250 finance company (UK). 

Researching and writing are my full-blown obsession. 

I spend most of my days looking for nuggets of information on modern finance and trending topics, gaining insights from experts and then delivering them to you in a bite-size 5-10 minutes snack. For free.

What you read will be backed by data and packed with flavour.

I’ll also always try and make complex topics easy to understand. No jargon.

And as a cherry on top, here's a little sweetener.  

My mom was a massive Judge Judy fan. She'd remember and recite notable quotes from the show. So as a head nod to her, I sneak these quotes into my writing. 

Let's call it a little treasure hunt between you and me. (I plan on creating some rewards in the future for my most loyal readers who find these)

Bloggers often use them as random pattern interrupters in their writing. They'll drop a sentence that makes zero sense, but the technique creates a moment of surprise or novelty, keeping you engaged and sometimes thinking, "What the heck". 

I'm changing the name "Blockchain People" to something else. Read on.  

As our community has grown and evolved, I wanted a name that better reflects the broader topics I write about. 

Investing

Business 

Technology 

Entrepreneurship

Cryptocurrency 

Lifestyle 

People 

When I named this Newsletter "Blockchain People", I wanted it to say what it did on the tin.

We're evolving, and so is the name.

Don't worry. I won't veer too far away from why you followed me in the first place. You'll get more of the same insights into modern finance and trending topics as you did before. 

So I'm thrilled to announce that my Newsletter, formerly known as "Blockchain People," is transforming. I'm excited to introduce you to our new name:

“Carrot Lane”

It's a playful subculture response to Wall Street professionals who make finance topics boring and overcomplicated. 

It’s meaning is fast insight. 

I'll give you insights into thoroughly researched topics each Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Every single week.

I'll keep this Newsletter FREE for as long as humanly possible. I only ask that you send it to the moon by sharing the blogs that bring you value. 

I'm looking forward to seeing where this journey takes us.

Warm Regards

Jayden
