Subject: News from Simplero: Come Meet the Community in New York in May

Hi Lovely Simplerista,

I'm so excited to see you all May 20-22 at SimpleroConf in New York City.

We're putting together an amazing program for you. The speakers we've lined up so far are exceptional. But I'm not going to announce them just yet.

Instead, let me tell you about an element we're going to end with on the second day: Mini Masterminds.

I know that you'll be learning a ton and making a ton of great connections during the weekend. But then the weekend's over, and you come back home, and it's time to implement it all. You're so inspired, but also a bit overwhelmed. Where to start? It's hard to choose and focus.

That's where the masterminds come in. We'll team you up in groups of four, and each person gets to describe their situation, and then ask for specific advice from the other members. It's a great way to get outside perspective from like-minded souls, and to help clarify your own thoughts. It helps you see exactly how you can apply what you've learned to your specific situation.

I know from past experience that it is a super powerful way to integrate what you've learned, to make sure you know exactly what to do when you get home. And it's something we often don't spend enough time focusing on.

Figuring out what to do is the biggest and most critical component. Once you have that clarity, it's so much easier to move forward. And it's something we often don't spend enough time on.

And the mastermind seems to be the element that had the people on the webinar earlier this week most excited.

Don't hesitate, register for SimpleroConf today.

Make It a Family Vacation

I've heard from some of you that you intend to make this into a family vacation to New York. That's a great idea. New York in May is absolutely incredible for all ages. American Museum of Natural History is super fascinating for the older kids and grownup geeks, and the parks are nice for little ones and big ones alike.

It's the same time my mum visited last year. The weather was gorgeous, and there's so much to do here. Heck, just picking a random neighborhood and walking around is exciting. I love doing that myself.

(Side note: I have still never visited the Statue of Liberty, though I see her often from the Manhattan shore.)

See you at SimpleroConf.

Friday Bar This Friday at 5.30pm in Copenhagen

And, if you happen to be in Copenhagen this week, I'll be there too. Flying out tonight, landing tomorrow noon, then throwing a Friday bar for new and old friends alike. It's been years since I've done anything like this, so I'm really looking forward to meeting everybody again.

My long-time friend Thomas Madsen-Mygdal has recently opened a really cool space in Copenhagen, and they've been so gracious as to host us, and even keep the place open longer than normal for us. I'm buying you healthy and tasty snacks, and I got them to promise me they'll make some really delicious cocktails especially for you (you know I'm into classy drinks). 

It's this Friday at 5.30pm, and right next to Nørreport Station, so very easily accessible.

If you're coming, please 1-click RSVP here so we have a count (if you haven't already).

Address and details after you've RSVP'd.

I'm looking forward to seeing you!

New Features in Simplero

I made it even easier to do auto-subscribe and auto-unsubscribe links in your broadcasts, emails, and automation emails. It's a super easy way to get people to raise their hand and say "yes, I'm interested in this", or "I'm coming to your event".

Before, you had to create an automation, add one step to it ("Subscribe to list X"), then take the 1-click start automation link. This just makes it a bit simpler and easier, which means you'll probably use it more.

More details here.
