The Grateful Dead would let their songs “marinate”. They’d play a new song at a show, then slowly let it evolve, adjust, add some spices and flavors. Same kind of thing. Great concept, thanks David

That's a terrific example Christoph! Marinate is another awesome metaphor for this process as well.

Also...if you don't mind sharing how did you get those little push pins to show up?

I don't mind at all. I used the emoji button on my Mac and dropped them in. If you have trouble doing that create them in a word doc and then cut and paste into the Substack doc.
