Sunday Edition - July 20, 2026
Good morning, Member 👋
When I was growing up, if asked what I wanted to be someday, I would've answered without missing a beat: a lawyer. And while sometimes life follows the script, sometimes, it tosses that out the window and gives us a better story.
That brings me to today's question: What was your dream job, and what did you end up doing? Did you become exactly what you imagined? Did life take you somewhere completely unexpected? Whatever your path, I have a feeling it's a story worth telling.
Now, grab your favorite drink, settle into your favorite chair, and make yourself comfortable. We've got a wonderful lineup of stories waiting for you today.
