Hello, My Favorite Degenerates!
Another week has passed and unlike last week when I didn’t know what format that email would take before I started writing, this week I’m going to pretty much emulate that one because the feedback from you folks was great.
So the format will be…
An intro to a story that I’m thinking about sharing and you can interact by liking (hitting the little heart button) or replying to the email if you want me to actually go forward and write the full thing out.
And then I’ll fill you in on some stuff I published over the past week.
Let’s get stuck in, shall we?
Switch Hitting
The part of the finance industry that I work in is still pretty niche.
There are increasingly a large number of big firms that are struggling to replicate our value proposition to clients because a boutique firm like ours has the flexibility to respond and react quicker to market conditions.
Because of that, our community is fairly tight-knit - it’s not that we “like” each other so much as we just all tend to know each other because it’s a relatively closed group of people.
There was a young lady who worked at a competing firm as a Senior Quant and Analyst, and we had our eye on her for probably a solid two years trying to figure out where she would best fit into our firm.
Through some good fortune, we had someone in our office who knew her from childhood, and so this person made the introduction to Aashi for me.
Aashi, who I hadn’t met before turned out to be an absolutely gorgeous young Indian woman whose LinkedIn profile picture didn’t do her justice.
We had lunch, we talked, I got to know her a little bit…
But I really didn’t get to know her at all. Her life was far more interesting as I came to discover over the next few months.
The more I got to know her, the more intriguing she became to me.
But, then things didn’t go as quite as expected…
If you want me to write the rest of this story in a post on Medium, let me know by hitting the like button, or replying to this email and telling me that you want to hear how it ends!
Last Week’s Story Teaser - “The A-List Orgy”
In my email last week, I told you a bit about a private party that I was invited to attend while traveling for business and it was a bit wilder than a normal drinks function.
After the positive response to my request, I decided to follow through and tell the rest of the story in a post that I published yesterday.
The initial feedback on that story was really good with it being read over 100 times in the first twelve hours after posting it.
If you want to check it out, it’s pretty wild.
New Column - Taboo Tuesday
On my Medium Publication for “Sexual Tendencies” I have a mailbag column where every second Monday, I answer questions that people email to me.
It’s actually really pretty popular and people send me some strange questions which I enjoy answering in a fun way.
But people also send me some very, VERY extreme stories and things - I’ve seen pictures, some women have sent links to videos, and some stories are simply not publishable because of how far out there they are.
Some of them are publishable though, so what I did was ask permission of the people who sent stuff in that was a little “taboo” and every second Tuesday on alternate weeks to the mailbag, I’m going to publish a “Taboo Tuesday” column.
The first one last week was extremely popular, about double the number of average readers that a mailbag gets.
I’m publishing a new one on Tuesday, and then it will switch to be every two weeks.
It’s a fun read, so click the button to check it out.
Ok, well that’s it for this week.
Do mash the “heart” button to tell me that you want me to pick up and complete the story I started or if you just like this style of email.
You can forward the email to your friends if you like and they can sign up for themselves so they don’t miss out.
And with that, I’ll see you next week!
Talk To You Soon,
DJ.
