We had a lot of ambition, dwindling savings accounts, and two laptops that wouldn’t hold a charge. As we grew the business through the years, we often found ourselves asking, “Did everyone else take a class on how to do life? Did I miss that day?” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book’s journey really began four years ago. We didn’t know what to read one Memorial Day weekend, and we decided that our Skimm’rs could probably relate. So we started a section in the \u003ci\u003eDaily Skimm \u003c\/i\u003eemail newsletter called “Skimm Reads,” where we recommended a book we thought our audience might want to have for the long weekend. Our audience liked it, so we recommended another one the next week. And it caught on. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor a few years now, we’ve been approached about creating a print version of what theSkimm does every day. But start-up rule number one is focus, so we never felt like the timing was quite right. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, we’re focusing on the next chapter of theSkimm’s story. See what we did there? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e theSkimm is a membership for living smarter. Already a trusted resource for news, we’re ready to take on more.
