Hi, I’m Lou Blaser, and welcome to We’re All Getting Older.
WAGO (short for We’re All Getting Older) is a newsletter exploring learning, becoming, and building a coherent life.
Why Subscribe
I write once a week on topics that help me continue becoming the person I want to be. This often includes reflections on reading, learning, the creative life, and an ongoing inquiry into two tensions I’m always navigating: enoughness versus ambition, and control versus surrender.
Most of WAGO is free, but paid subscribers (aka neighborhood patrons) help keep WAGO going, ensuring it exists in a noisy world. You’ll enjoy occasional invitations to small gatherings with fellow patrons and have complete access to the archive and any paywalled essays.
A little about me
I’m a former change strategy consultant and IT leader, and someone who used to love climbing the corporate ladder. (Can you imagine?!)
Today, I claim the labels: reader, writer, and curator. In addition to writing We’re All Getting Older, I also curate and maintain The Filtered, a digital library for reading, learning, and thinking better.
But mostly, I’m someone who’s still figuring it out and having a lot more fun doing it than I used to!
Thanks for being here.
