Why I Started a Substack




Stardate 01.15.2026

Good morning, friends,

Social media is great, but it’s rented space — posts get lost, algorithms change, and meaningful connection can disappear. I wanted a place just for us. My Substack newsletter delivers reflections, updates, and encouragement straight to your inbox — simple, clean, and judgment-free.

Every step we take together also supports the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital. Connection is rare and precious, and this space gives me a way to stay in touch, encourage growth, and make an impact — one step, one email, one day at a time.


πŸ–– Captain’s Addendum

Spock: “Connection thrives in spaces designed for purpose.”
Bones: “Finally, a place where my words matter.”

Michael’s Reflection: Substack is that place for us — a simple, reliable way to stay connected, share encouragement, and take meaningful next steps.
