Morning everyone,
We're really excited to have just launched the Escape the City newsfeed - a stream of all of our most recent content (opportunities, escape stories, useful information, etc). We have also introduced a new Events section - if you want to promote a relevant event please do post it up - click here.
Back when we were planning our corporate escapes we subscribed to a few daily newsletters to give us the confidence to make the leap. Seth Godin, Hugh MacLeod and Startup Daily are 3 that we would definitely recommend. What regular emails do you receive? Come tell us on Facebook.
Have a great week, here is your newsletter...
