Hi, I'm Nat

"It's a delight I look forward to every week. I'm hearing your honest, interesting thoughts — like a friend in the inbox."

Julian Shapiro

"As a longtime newsletter creator, I'm also a newsletter "connoisseur" and subscribe to 50+ newsletters. A tiny sliver of those make it to my "must read list" and Nat's Medley is high on that list. The newsletter is consistent in its ability to delight me, with a provocative piece that I would have missed or a business tactic to help me scale RadReads. I highly recommend this newsletter to entrepreneurs, creators, executives — and anyone who digs intelligent and unique ideas."

“The Medley is my favorite way to start the week. It’s fun, informative, and playfully surprising.”

David Perell

"If all you did every Monday was read Nat's newsletter, you could count that as a win no matter what else you got done that day. That's how information-rich this collection is."

Jimmy Soni

"I’m busy and don’t have time to find quality content. Nat does a great job filtering out all the noise to just the best reads."

Wilson Hung

"I used to be hard-pressed to find an email newsletter that I would read without fail every time it hopped into my inbox. Monday Medley is entertaining, enriching, and a must-read for any tech or culture enthusiast. Nat has does a terrific job of building a community around shared knowledge."

Corrine Watson, BigCommerce

"I’ve been following Nat for years now and have learned a ton about marketing, SEO and business through practical examples and case studies. His weekly newsletter is full of thought provoking ideas, book recommendations, interesting reads and useful resources to feed your curiosity."

Tomas Lau

"Nat's Monday Medley's is one of the only newsletter that I subscribe to and actively tell my friends about. The pieces are well curated, summaries are easy to read, and Nat's excessive use of emojis makes me a fan for life."

Tam Pham

"Love the Medley. Emails about business get tiring, and I have a lot of diverse interests, so the Medley is wonderful for catching up on other cool stuff going on in the world that I might have missed."

Allen Walton

"Nat's Monday Medley is consistently the most interesting and enjoyable weekly letter in my inbox. I look forward to diving into what he finds each week!"

"Out of the hundreds of newsletters I have subscribed to (and cancelled), yours just sticks. It's the honesty with which you share that makes it both useful and compelling. You come off as calmly hopeful and authentic. Love that you moved into crypto as I feel myself being pulled there too, even from classical music."

"I'm consistently blown away by the breadth of the medley. Every issue I learn something new, often about a topic I didn't expect to find. I love that I can quickly skim it and get everything I need without having to click, but can dive deeper when I want to."

"I've been following the Monday Medley for the last few months and it's one of those emails that I enjoy opening in my inbox; I really love the fact it talks about a wide range of interesting topics (that usually wasn't picked up by my other news channels) and is brief, allowing me to quickly skim over it and read what sparks my interest."

"Nat is on the ground building his business and the Medley is a peek into what goes into that. I enjoy getting exposed to new people, articles, and concepts through the newsletter. 🙌"

"The newsletters include a great range of topics, which opens me to a whole new world. It's a great way to feel connected to society by reading about new studies and articles that I am interested in. Something to hope for every week."

"This isn't one of those newsletters I just skim through. I read every line (sometimes twice) and always take away great info, concepts, or even ways to think. This is great for ANYONE in business and there's else nothing like it. Great job Nat!"

"The Monday Medley curates an eclectic mix of great reading. I subscribe to quite a few services curating web reading. Monday Medley is one of the few that I always open. It's rare that there's not at least one thing that I go on to read and enjoy."

"The Monday Medley is for me a continuously expected newsletter. I always find very diverse and intelligent information that opens my eyes to explore something new, and learning is what I like the most."

"Always a very good read. Been reading for two plus years and consistently get at least one thought provoking or “call to action” item that starts the week off great. Thanks for all the work you put into it!"

"Nat's Monday Medley is the ONLY email I look forward to getting in my inbox each week! I always get to read about the latest interesting happenings in health, business, social/politics, and self-improvement related topics that I never would've come across on my own. 10 thumbs up!"

"The Monday Medley is a great mix of interesting topics and ideas. Anyone who loves information and being up-to-date on hot topics needs to get signed up for Monday Medley. It's free, it's fun, what's not to love?"

"Monday Medley is the one email I look forward to receiving every week. The articles and things Nat shares are super interesting and his commentary sums everything up really well. Highly recommend!"

"I subscribe to a lot of newsletters, Nat's is the only one I read EVERY week. There's always something that will zig zag my thinking in a new direction; a fresh article, a thoughtful study, a nugget to share with friends. I find myself forwarding the Monday Medley to a (different) friend each week, as the breadth of great topics is so wide."

"The only email I'm eager to open every week."

"Nat's Monday Medley is often my favorite email of the week!"

"I look forward to your Monday Medley every week - the best way to find out about cool stuff happening in science, society, psychology, anything. Your Medley is a fountain of eclectic ideas."

"One of the few emails that I genuinely look forward to reading, and finding out what Nat has unearthed each week!"

"Usually super OCD about my email inbox but Nat’s Monday Medley is one of the few newsletters just too good to unsubscribe from!"

"Not sure how he does it but Nat scours the web to pull out the most interesting/useful content so you don't have to. The snippets he shares are enough if I'm strapped for time but always find one or two worth diving deeper into. I've shared with plenty of friends but this is one of the few newsletters I look forward weekly."

"In a world where each of us is over-saturated with information, good curation is invaluable. Nat's Monday Medley is the single best newsletter that aggregates really interesting internet content across many topics— food, health, tech, business, and much more. It's one of the few newsletters I read diligently each week."

"Monday Medley is a thought provoking, well researched, mind opener and concept discovering newsletter."

"I throughly enjoy receiving the Monday Medley, I enjoy starting the week with new knowledge and interesting articles."

"Nat's Monday Melody is one of the few newsletters I actively look forward to reading each week. It gets me interested in new topics I would have never found on my own while providing new, unbiased thinking around concepts I thought I already understood. Nat balances rigorous research and thoughtful commentary better than most, and the Melody is a must-read for anyone looking to stay curious and informed outside the standard echo-chamber of information."

"The Medley is an impartial and well-curated collection of timely insights that make me a more well rounded person upon reading."

"Nat’s Monday Medley is one of the few newsletters I allow into my inbox. He never fails to share interesting links that I wouldn’t have found otherwise. I learn something new, valuable, and actionable every week because of the Monday Medley."

"A few years ago I did purge of all email newsletters I subscribed to and Nat's Monday Medley was one of the very few that I love enough to keep in my inbox. I've been following along since 2016 and always look forward to the mix of news, marketing and general fun he puts together each week! Don't go another Monday without this newsletter."

"It's rare nowadays to get an email you actually WANT to open. Nat Eliason's Medley is one of those emails for me. He's one of the few people I enjoy seeing content from. And that's a rare status, but one he's earned."

"I'm enjoying it. Sometimes the whole newsletter might be too much to read so I'll just pick a sentence/link that looks interesting and take a look at that."

"Great weekly digest of insightful and educational reads across a wide range of topics. One of the few emails I almost always open, and I often can't help but dig more into a handful of the articles. Come to think of it, I kind of hate the Medley because every Monday, I think I'm going to have such a focused and productive morning, and then as soon as I go in my inbox, I can't help but read the Medley and its links. Though it's definitely led me to some useful insights and learnings so I guess it evens out."

"From the noisy information ocean I think Medley gives me the right information pills I need to feel updated of what´s going on in the world. The topics tackled in every newsletter are very interesting to just pick up the best ones and dig more when I feel to. I would recommend Medley to any person who wants to pull an interesting 2-minute chat while waiting for coffee any given day."

"I so enjoy the lead- in thread, always attention grabbers!! Nat lines up the medleys & gives you options to click on the links if your interested in hearing more, because let’s face it, time and options rule the world. 🌎"

"I would say that your mind somehow resonates with me, I do enjoy researching and learning similar topics as you discuss in the Medley, mostly business and health wise. All in all, staying curious is a big advantage nowadays."

"I've been really enjoying them. Always well written and interesting. I've ended up reading and sharing a lot of the articles."

"I enjoy the variety of his topics, that are really original and have themes that I haven't seen before or anywhere else. So keep the great job and I am anxious to see more of Nat's blogs in the future!"

"Love the eclectic collection of articles across different domains as well as the accompanying commentary, one of the few I look forward to each week."

"I've been getting the Monday Medley for years and it's the best newsletter I receive each week. The Monday Medley is like if Joe Rogan, Andrew Yang, and Tim Ferriss had a baby who wrote newsletters. Nat has an incredible ability to synthesize a wide range of complicated topics in a way that makes you feel intrigued and informed. I couldn't recommend the Medley highly enough."

"Each issue of the Monday Medley is a carefully curated assortment of insightful stories pertaining to emergent trends at the intersection of business, technology and society (along with a quirky practical tip or two). It has a very high signal-to-noise ratio and I never miss an issue — even if that means combing back through my email inbox to find an occasional one that didn't get opened."

"Every time I see your mail in my inbox, I feel a sense of happiness. Because of your motivational speaking and of the diversity of your topics, I know I will try to learn something new every week."

"I don't watch news on tv, but I always read Nat's Monday Medley and I always finish it by knowing more about the word. So It's like the news for the week for me, that's what I like in it."

"The most unique newsletter I subscribe to. Always an interesting mix of topics including business, science, life, and food. Nat has unbiased views and great commentary on articles and research topics."

"Nat's Monday Medley has earned its position in my inbox as one of my three favourite weekly subscriptions. I feel that If I'm going to read anything, it may as well be uplifting, enlightening and worth thinking about or reflecting upon. Since I'm in Australia I get it earlier than most and I read it top to bottom as soon as it lands, it's like picking up the prettiest seashells from the seaside before the crowds arrive."

"Love the Monday Medley! One of the very few newsletters I subscribe to and probably the only one I actually look forward to. It’s a nice variety of info (but not too random) and I enjoy your takes on it all."

"The medley is always interesting, well articulated and succinct. It triggers my thoughts and inspires me to do my own thinking and research."

"Thank you SOOO much for all the hardwork that goes into The Monday Medley it keeps me up-to-date with online trends, gives me access to areas of life that I’m interested in but don’t have time to research and have random things to share in conversations. LOVE IT."

"Been enjoying this from Glasgow, Scotland, over the last few weeks! Nothing is filler, even the things that seem mundane or irrelevant me have a way of being presented with such thoughtful insight I never skip past anything. It’s the sort of newsletter I’d like to write myself! Well done Nat!"

"The Monday Medley every time provides me with an interesting food for thought, and more often than not it provides me with new perspectives. Nothing more I could ask for from a piece of content."

"I love your weekly update on the various sectors and interesting insights, they often provide me with new perspective on things and give me something new to think and read about every week."

"Reading Monday Medley is like eating pistachio macaroons while admiring a distant rainbow from the vantage point of a majestic mountaintop. As someone who doesn’t follow (or really care about) most traditional news, I really appreciate hearing Nat’s thoughtful takes on everything from the latest critiques of Beyond Meat to intriguing applications of the Lindy Effect."

"Nat's Medley is like having a smart, curious friend who summarize interesting things they've learned all week and then text it to you every Monday - It's always direct, digestible and informative! I've definitely looked forward to Mondays more since I became a subscriber."

"Its the tone of language and ease of reading…your mailer reads like a mini series of shower thoughts and sounds like listening to a chitchat over an afternoon coffee."

"I don't subscribe to many newsletters, but Nat's Monday Medley is always full of interesting stuff. A core part of my weekly reading."

"The Monday Medley is one of the few newsletters I have subscribed to on my personal email account. It has given me countless new recommendations for articles to read and your insights mixed in the bunch is really interesting to read."

"One of my favorite things about Monday Medley is the range of stuff covered, from latest psychological studies to trends in investments. What isn’t covered (thank God) is “what Nat’s listening to this week” or “Nat’s favorite tea.”"

"I’ve been reading Nat’s Monday medley for more than 2 years... And I never missed one. That’s how good they are."

"I took a job out of high school at IBM before going to university – in 1989. I had email and instant messaging on a mainframe called WARVM5 (Warwick in England, Virtual Machine 5). After my undergrad I got a job at Goldman Sachs, and was one of the first people to get email, in 1994. It is incredible to think that before that, all internal communication was by paper memo, and voicemail. (For example, if you made an error that resulted in a profit or loss, you had to leave a voicemail for the partners taking responsibility and outlining steps to address the issue). Within a few years, we were deluged by email, and it absorbed a huge percentage of our time. People generally either filed nothing, or everything. (I adopted David Allen’s Getting Things Done in Microsoft Outlook). Search tools back then were appalling, so filing nothing was hardly an option – until x1 search came along, which changed everything for me. Wind forward to 2021, I have left my finance career and am training as a coach & legal mediator, so I don’t have to suffer an employing organisation’s email disfunction. Much of what I read I pull from various sources – Twitter, Pocket, websites, etc. I get a very limited amount of news and information pushed to me, (partly because I still aim for inbox-zero). Your email is one of those push sources. It is perfectly judged for frequency, length, and strike rate of interesting content – as a result I read it from start to finish each week. There is much to provoke my thought process and to explore."

"Nat's Monday Medley is fantastic -- it's one of only two email newsletters that I keep in my inbox. Well-researched, interesting, and covers everything from health, business, science, and the world."

"My girlfriend and I read it in bed together every Monday night. Nothing gets us hornier!"

"One of the only email newsletters I receive that I actually look forward to and enjoy reading. If you don't get your Medley you are missing out!"

"Nat's newsletter is outstanding. My Inbox is filled with non-sense, ranging from discounts at online stores that I've never shopped at to Todoist sending me daily reminders of my never-ending to-do list. But within all this noise, Nat's newsletter really stands out and is a joy to read through every week!"

"The Monday Medley is one of the few newsletters I read every time and haven't unsubscribed from. Nat's newsletter provides both actionable tips and food for thought on living a fulfilling life in lots of areas, such as health and entrepreneurship. For me the newsletter has especially been helpful in terms of my journey towards developing a fulfilling work life and the role of an education. And so has Nat's blog and podcast episodes."

"For a time longer than I care to remember accurately, I've enjoyed Nat Eliason's Monday Medley. I've been receiving useful tips, articles, thoughts, ideas, and announcements from Nat Eliason since the first one he sent, a compilation of what were previously individual alerts. I would recommend this medley to friend and stranger alike, it's an appreciable way to pull yourself out of the abyss of online, social-media-borne echo chambers. Introduce yourself to a new perspective: join the list."

"I have been subscribed for a few weeks now. What I enjoy most is reading news that is outside the scope of most sources—in a personable voice."

Nat’s journey is really inspiring as I build multiple businesses and I’d definitely call him a mentor of mine."

"I work in demand generation and I appreciate how the Medley combines articles and trends that are relevant to my career, while also acknowledging that there is a world outside of the buzzwords and the metrics. The work we do online doesn't happen in a vacuum, and the Medley acknowledges that by combining happenings in the digital world with whats going on in the world around us."

My favorite parts are: The "counter-intuitive" content that makes me think outside the box (example: landfills being, arguably, more eco-friendly/sustainable than recycling) and all things fitness/health that Nat shares.
