The very first Social Coyote newsletter was sent out 1 year ago today. It was a resounding success: 2 people received it and it had a staggering 100% open rate. That’s unheard of! Thank you Lauren for being the other person to open it and for being the very first subscriber.
Even though we’re the ripe old age of 7, in people years, we still have that youthful day 1 mentality. The gray (wolf-cousins anyways) says experience, but the red fur says youthfulness.
