The Last Atom: Work Worth Doing

Teddy Roosevelt once said, “Far and away, the best prize that life has to offer is a chance to work hard at work worth doing.”

And Leslie Knope said, “What makes work worth doing is getting to do it with people that you love.”

They’re both right.

This is the good stuff. Doing meaningful work, for people who matter, alongside people you care about.

If you’re reading this, you’re part of that. And I’m really, truly grateful. 🔥

We Almost Quit. But You Kept ATOMS Alive.

If you’ve been here, thank you.

And if you’re still thinking about going paid… It’s not too late!

Let’s keep going. This is work worth doing. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼
