Help us Out

Hey folks. We have a big ask today. If you’re enjoying the Daily Carnage, head to the bottom of the email and refer a friend or 10. We’ll send you stickers, coffee mugs, socks and much more.

Shameless plug here while we’re at it…

We built out our own referral system because we couldn’t find anything that worked for us. It’s called Scalemail. Hit us up if you want a demo.
