We chatted with David over Labor Day weekend to discuss how he started Fitler Focus and the transition over to me, Yianni.
You may have asked… ‘who is this guy?’. Well, it’s fair and I talk a little about myself in the video above and will share some more below.
It was great speaking with David about the neighborhood and his experience running the #1 Philadelphia Substack (no bias here). I couldn’t be more excited to take over The Fitler Focus.
As David says, it is a lot work. That work wouldn’t be worth it if the audience wasn’t seriously engaged, but our subscribers are clearly showing our stories love. I can see it (thank you Substack metrics).
For me, the upcoming year is a great opportunity to continue what David has started while exploring ways to give back to Fitler Square and Philadelphia. To reward our paid subscribers for their support, while keeping the newsletter you love…free.
I am excited for a seamless transition. I am here to curate stories and creativity that bring insights, joy and news to the community. If you would like to help, please reach out, say hi and let’s find a story to tell.
Yianni
