Introducing Paid Subscriptions: The Next Chapter
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Dear readers,
After 400 posts and a journey that has brought me immeasurable joy, connection, and growth, I'm excited to announce a new chapter for this Substack community.
When I began writing here, I couldn't have imagined the rich conversations we'd have, the ideas we'd explore together, or the meaningful connections that would form. Your engagement, thoughtful responses, and constant encouragement have made this space something truly special.
Why Now?
Four hundred posts later, I find myself with deeper insights, more ambitious ideas, and a desire to create content that requires more time, research, and dedication. I want to dive deeper into topics we've only scratched the surface of, to create more comprehensive resources and to build a more intimate community space.
What's Staying the Same
First, let me be clear: the content you've come to enjoy will continue to be free. My commitment to providing valuable insights, stories, and perspectives during the week remains unchanged. This space will continue to thrive and grow.
What's New: The Paid Subscription
For those who wish to go deeper, I'm introducing a paid subscription tier that offers: Additional Benefits.
As a paid subscriber, you'll also enjoy:
Full Archive Access: Dive into organized collections of past content, curated for different interests and needs
Journal Versions: More personal, behind-the-scenes reflections on my own journey
Monthly Reflections: Synthesized insights and patterns I'm noticing across topics
Private AMA Threads: Direct access to ask me anything in a more intimate setting
Community Gatherings: Occasional virtual meetups where we can connect in real-time
Why Subscribe?
Beyond the additional content, your subscription supports the sustainability of this work. It allows me to dedicate more time to research, writing, and community building. It enables me to create the kind of deep, thoughtful content that requires hours of focused attention, the kind that's increasingly rare in our distracted digital era.
This is an Invitation, Not an Obligation
This is an invitation, not a pressure. I'm deeply grateful for every reader, whether you choose to read the free content, become a paid subscriber, or simply drop by occasionally. This community has never been about transactions; it's about transformation, connection, and shared growth.
For those who find value in what I share but aren't in a position to subscribe financially, please know that I'm committed to keeping the core of this Substack accessible to all. The paid tier is simply an opportunity for those who wish to go deeper and support this work more directly.
What's Next
Starting next weekend, paid subscribers will receive the first of these deeper explorations. I can't wait to share what I've been working on.

With immense gratitude for these 400 posts together and excitement for what's to come.
Ivan Nyagatare,
Your wisdomous friend.
