Happy Friday!
The weekend is just a few hours away, weāve got this!
In equally exciting news, Iām happy to share that the Adventure Cards have arrived and look great! Iāve printed 250 of them and they will be available on a first-come come first-served basis in Tuesday's newsletter.
Theyāre completely free thanks to our awesome sponsor Wellbeing Massage! If you complete the three Adventures on the card and submit proof, youāll unlock a free cheese pizza at Razzoās Pizzeria!
I'm expecting these to go fast and will be sending our Premium Explorers early access to sign up on Saturday. So if you want to make sure you get an Adventure Card, consider joining!
Alrighty, letās get to it!
