Posted by You follow inspirational accounts and figures on Instagram and Facebook. You enjoy their posts and find yourself motivated by them. You have given them valuable placement within your newsfeed or social feeds.
Increasingly, I find myself gravitating toward content from somewhere other than my social feed — my email inbox. Yes, email … a place you protect dearly and are merciless with when it comes to deleting spam and excess. I’m not talking about the typical email “newsletter.” Those are boring and get barely a glance from me.
I’m talking about a new generation of email. One made by creative and inspired millennials who understand that email can be cool again. Recently, I have found myself eager to check my email each morning as more content creators and influencers are creating content specifically for email but with a unique millennial flavor.
Here are my five favorite daily emails worth leaving room for in your inbox.
