THIS is non-negotiable if you want to be an effective comms strategist and counselor. I work diligently on every one of these points, and the difference is night and day when I’m at the table BEFORE things start to happen.

When comms is engaged early, we’re not just polishing messages — we’re shaping outcomes. We see the blind spots leaders miss, we anticipate how employees and stakeholders will actually hear the news, and we prevent the unnecessary messes that happen when communication is treated as an afterthought.

That’s why “getting comms in early” isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s the foundation for clarity, credibility, and trust.

Is the social media era finally losing its grip on us?

In this episode, Alex reads his essay ⁠“Peak Social Media: When the Craze Becomes a Chore,”⁠ examining platform fatigue, expert perspectives on digital burnout, and the quiet rise of slower, more intentional spaces like Reddit and Substack.

Head's up, All the Fits That's News paid subscribers!

Important Note for Paid "All The Fits That's News" (Substack) Subscribers

Hey friends,

Thank you for supporting All the Fits That's News with both your attention and your wallet. You've put real skin in the game, and I want you to know how deeply I appreciate it.

Now, here's the situation.

You may soon get an email from Substack (if you have not already) saying you're receiving a prorated refund of your subscription. That means you'll be reimbursed for the unused portion—if you signed up recently, it'll be a larger amount; if you've been with me nearly a year, it'll be less.

Why the refund? That's on me.

When I sold my company a few months ago, I changed my primary email address but forgot to update it with Stripe first. Stripe—the payment processor—has now locked me out of my account.

Despite offering everything short of a blood sample (driver's license, cell number, address, banking info), I've been met with unbending bureaucracy at its most Kafkaesque.

Your data is safe, your financial information is secure, and you haven't done anything wrong.

This is simply a frustrating tech mess on the backend that's costing me some sleep, probably some money, and a bit of pride. Since I can't access the funds, Stripe is automatically refunding you a prorated payment.

Here's where I need your help:

If you've enjoyed All the Fits That's News and believe the work is worth continuing, I'm asking you to consider re-subscribing once your refund processes. I've created a new Stripe account (properly under my control this time), and everything is set up correctly going forward. It may be a bit before the new paid subscriber setup is complete, so I hope you will come back in an hour or so if you cannot find it. I will remind you, of course!

My best work is still to come—and your support is what makes that possible.

Thank you for your patience, generosity, and encouragement. If you have questions, feel free to reply directly; I'm always happy to talk with readers who've invested in what we're building here.

Gratefully,

Alex

Remember that old joke?

"Doctor, it hurts when I do this."

"Then don't do that. That'll be $500."

Turns out America needs some expensive medical advice about our repetitive political injuries. New post breaks down why we keep doing the motions that are breaking us—and what the $500 cure might actually look like.
