I’m Writing for dscout!

But I’m not leaving anyone behind

Hey, everyone, I have a cool announcement that I hope you will celebrate with me.

I was contacted by dscout a few months ago to create some content for them on their blog, People Nerds. Here are a few reasons this was exciting for me:

  1. Since I was about 5 years old, I have dreamed about being a writer, so, having someone approach me about writing for them was a real dream come true
  2. It forces me to create high-quality content on a regular basis — not that I don’t want to do this, but it is really nice to have a schedule
  3. The people at dscout are really cool, and I actually believe in their vision, as well as their product

That being said, this doesn’t really impact my writing on Medium in the sense that I will still be creating separate content for you all, as often as I can. However, I do recommend you also check out my content on dscout (and their content in general), because it is aligned with the type of information I post here.
