Welcome back, Future Funder
You probably donāt know this, but the origin story of Future Funders started from its very own discussion, served up aroundā¦wait for itā¦a dinner table.
Picture thisā¦
Back in January 2021, Will and Danielle Scott were decompressing after another day of #adulting while juggling their newly acquired responsibilities as first-time parents.
The bathtime and bedtime stories were calling, but they couldnāt stop thinking about their future:
āWhatās important to us and to our family?,ā Danielle thought.
āWeāre not just planning our financial future for the two of us anymore,ā Will said.
The more they thought about it, they realized that they werenāt the only families in Americaāor in the world for that matterāthat were having Dinner Table Discussions like these.
So they did what anyone would do in 2021: Will and Danielle Scott started a newsletter.
And over the span of our first 32 months of Future Funders, the Scotts had some pretty impressive stats, if we do say so ourselves.
Will Scott, the first staff writer who ever wrote the Dinner Table Discussions newsletter, and his wife, Danielle (his trusty ideator and copy editor extraordinaire)...
Created an email community of 44k+ subscribers (and counting)
Wrote 182 weekly newsletters and never missed a single week in over 3 years of publishing
Received hundreds of comments + stories from loyal readers and raving fans like YOU
Consumed approximately 7692347 cups of late night coffee to finalize the newsletter before Monday morning
*takes deep breath*
Yeahā¦āimpressiveā might be the biggest understatement of the century, but whoās to say?
The Future Funders brand became a household name, our audience growth exploded, and Will and Danielle no longer had a ālittleā newsletter on their hands.
Not even close.
It became clear that Dinner Table Discussions had started to bear some incredible fruit, but it was also taking away from Will and Danielleās family time which is, and always will be, their #1 priority.
They knew it was time to let someone else take the lead, but they didnāt want to hand over the brand or the keys to the house theyād built together to any old stranger on the internet.
Will and Danielle wanted the next era of Future Funders to go to someone they could trust to carry the torch: to leave the world a better place than they found it.
Weāre excited to say that weāve got some BIG upgrades coming to Future Funders and the Dinner Table Discussions newsletter for you this Fall.
First up, youāll notice a slight shift in our content to feature the best myth busting and storytelling in the personal finance industry.
No news tickers, Twitter bots, or fearmongering forensics.
Just good āole hard-hitting journalism with a bit of a modern twist.
Dinner Table Discussions will be your exclusive source for the jaw-droppingly true money-making stories and lessons learned from people who stem from ALL walks of life.
Weāll feature everyone and everything: from the penny pinchers to the adrenaline junkies and everything in between.
You just havenāt heard of themā¦until now.
Weāll also reveal the wealth-building mindset secrets from a wide range of philosophies, like people with $200k in cash slipped into the slit of their mattressā¦
ā¦and others who went ALL in on crypto and sold their house just to get it to cash flow.
A little out there.
A lot to learn.
Second, weāll be building in even more opportunities for totally actionable bite-sized tips and takeaways that will transform your financial POVā¦
ā¦so you can get 1% better every week.
Whether you have $0 in savings or you just hired your 100th employee, thereās a place for YOU and your story at Future Funders (so we hope youāll stick with us).
And last but not least, if youāve enjoyed āseason 1ā of Future Funders and would like to send Will and Danielle Scott an email thank you note to let them know how theyāve personally impacted YOU, just hit reply to this email and let us hear it!
Weāll be consolidating all of your love letters + thank youās + standing ovations and sending them over to their house as a part of their final bow (and well-deserved standing ovation).
Thatās all weāve got for you this time, but weāll catch ya right back hereābright and early āļø on Thursday morningā to share our new mission + big ideas + blueprint plans weāve got in the works this Fall.
More to come,
Your friends at Future Funders
