One year ago, @nicgski hit send on the first issue of In the Trenches and accidentally created a biweekly emotional endurance sport for herself, her family, and everyone at Culture House 😂

Nicole shares about her writing process being a cycle of avoidance, snacks, anxiety, mountains of trash writing, one good sentence, more anxiety, and eventually pressing send at 10pm while contemplating if it’s the worst thing she’s ever written.

And yet… here we are. One year later. ❤️

This newsletter tells the truth about building creative projects in a rapidly changing entertainment industry. About resilience. Failure. Evolution. AI. Funding. Streamer chaos. Motherhood. Leadership. Burnout. Creativity.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for forwarding it to friends. Thank you for replying with your own stories, fears, ambitions, and moments of hope.

Creation is painful, cathartic, joyful, frustrating, vulnerable… and always worth it.

Cheers to one year of In the Trenches. 🥂
And cheers to many more Holy F*** It’s Tuesdays ahead.
