At Emerson Collective Fellowships, we recently relaunched our monthly newsletter, Fellows Forward. I'm excited to share the latest issue. This month, we take three trips with our fellows: We go for a hike in the Crazy Mountains of Montana and discuss the layered history of land in the western US; we follow mariachi musicians from Texas who perform in an Afghan fusion concert with refugees in Omaha; and we take a small boat across a lake to a new culinary institute in Rwanda.

Growing engagement is much more than checking analytics. Content Marketing Leader Camille Ricketts knows that there’s a subtle art to influencing consumer behavior. Her top three takeaways to make your business’s content stand out include: 1. Get obsessed with your audience and understand where content intersects with their lives. 2. Organize and analyze, and make sure this info doesn't escape you or your team. 3. Document your decisions in a way your team can use actively.

Purpose is the reason your company exists, beyond making a profit. A portfolio of high purpose-clarity firms earns significant positive risk-adjusted stock returns in the future, up to 7.6% annually. Leading with high purpose-clarity can make all the difference. For this week’s venture series, we’re bringing you tips from senior partner and managing director of West Monroe, Joe Brown, who knows a thing or two (or three) about the power of purpose. Read on for three key takeaways from his lightning talk: 1. Whether you’re 17 or 70, finding personal purpose reduces your risk of mortality by 15%. 2. The utility of your company’s purpose depends more on clarity than poetry. 3. To find purpose, fill in the blanks: We exist to [create impact] for [people we serve].
