Frank Warren had a boring job, and suddenly, an idea. He addressed 3000 postcards to himself and started handing them out to strangers, with a simple message: «Hi, I’m Frank. And I collect secrets.» Soon enough, the secrets started coming to his mailbox. And they never stopped. Today, Frank’s collection has grown to more than a million. What a great story, a wonderful weekend read.

From Weekly Filet #484, in April 2024.
