Highlights
Brad introduces himself as the creator of As You Find Me and shares that this is his first update using Substack’s native video tool.
He explains his plan to post monthly community updates throughout 2026.
As You Find Me is described as a generalist space where Brad explores tech, faith, health, and life, reflecting his wide range of interests.
He notes that generalist platforms often struggle to gain traction, but he hopes to build connection and trust over time.
Brad shares that the main Substack will remain free to help grow the audience and foster authentic engagement.
He reveals a second, more specialized Substack launching in February 2026: Moonberry and Friends, focused on children’s stories.
The Moonberry Substack will include a paid tier with author-read audio, Moonberry’s journal, and parenting resources tied to story themes.
He explains how themes like anxiety may appear across both Substacks, one for adults, one adapted for kids and parents.
Brad highlights tools he uses, such as Bear for notes, Fastmail for email, and Kagi for search, emphasizing the value of paid, privacy‑respecting services.
He mentions recent book reviews, including The Let Them Theory and AI for Dummies, and how these readings influence his life and work.
He acknowledges that As You Find Me is still small (fewer than 10 subscribers) but expresses gratitude for early supporters.
Brad encourages people to join the community at asyoufind.me, even if they discovered him through Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky, or YouTube.
He shares that his podcast, piloted in 2025, will receive new episodes in 2026.
He talks about developing a more predictable posting schedule instead of relying on impulsive bursts of creativity.
Brad commits to monthly update videos and ongoing content growth through January and February.
He closes by thanking viewers, inviting feedback, and encouraging authentic engagement across platforms.
