Louis Shulman
Hi, I'm Louis
I'm an entrepreneur, marketer, podcaster, writer, and copywriter.
What I'm up to:
- Scaling Moat Newsletters (done-for-you email newsletters).
- Boutique 1-1 consulting & special projects (more info)
I split my time between New York City and Las Vegas, Nevada.
In my free time, I pursue niche athletic goals.
Or browse essays, book notes, tools, or my impossible list.
