Episode description

Hi! It's Quinn. We have huge plans for 2026, and we need your help.

So we're running the biggest discount on an Important Membership that we've ever run, and will ever run, probably.

Right now it's $30/year. On January 1st, it'll be $50/year, and it's never going back.

So right now you can go to ImportantMembership.com and lock in $30/year forever, and we'll all be in a better place. You even get a free 30 day trial. Huzzah.

Here's a fun fact: 95% of people who joined are still Members. That's crazy. You will not regret it, and you even get stickers.

Members pay -- directly -- for our people, our software, our data, and when we can afford it -- which we really need to be able to afford more often -- marketing and advertising to get our work and the app in front of like 100 times more people.

You get bonus episodes from both of our podcasts, everything we make, like Life Finds A Way and The Science of Fiction, and all of it ad-free, and a place to track and share your actions with thousands of other people in What Can I Do? It's so great.

So that's it -- the price is going to basically double on January 1st, but you can lock in a Membership right now at $30/year, with a 30 day free trial.

Go to ImportantMembership.com right now, we take Apple Pay, it takes 10 seconds. Thank you.

[music playing] Hey, it's Quinn. I'm just popping in to let you know that we are running the biggest discount we have ever run and will probably ever run on our Important membership. Here's the deal. It's thirty dollars a year right now to join the membership. On January first, it'll be fifty dollars a year. It's going from thirty dollars a year to fifty dollars a year.

If you have ever wanted to, if you want to support our shows and our writing and get bonus pods and an ad-free experience, if you wanna help us bring in more guest writers and columnists like Mattie Stone, if you want to directly pay for us to develop and grow the app, you can lock in that price right now forever.

Sure. If that's enough for you, you can stop listening right now. Go to importantmembership.com. We'll put it in the show notes, but it's very simple. It's importantmembership.com, and just do the thing. And everyone gets a free thirty-day trial. Ninety-five percent of people who become members stay members, and we're very fucking proud of that, but we know we also have a lot of work we want to do.

If you need more info, but not convinced yet, listen. We don't have any outside investors or VCs of any kind. Not gonna do it. We are entirely funded by my wife and me, by our members, and by the few sponsors we agree to work with who are trying to do the right thing. I want more than anything to only work for you, our community.

But if we, you and me and everybody, want this work to continue, which is not guaranteed, obviously, look around at media, not everyone can listen and read for free for forever. Thirty-day free trial, great. You can't afford it, great. Totally understand. But we need more direct support. We need more members like you, and we need it ASAP because it's gonna be a big year.

Members help pay for our people, our software, our data, and research and partnerships, and when we can afford it, which is rarely, and we'd like to afford much more of it, some marketing and advertising for the stuff we make. Because look around. We need to reach way more people, like a hundred times more people. That is so clear to all of us here right now.

If you're listening to this, you can probably think of five people who give a shit and want to know how to give a shit more productively, who wanna actually connect in real life with other people who give a shit, and that is what we are here to do. So please head over to importantmembership.com. Grab the price before it goes away forever on January first. Thanks for listening, and thanks for giving a shit. [music playing]
