Join the Ampersand Guild

Have you noticed everything has a “+” appended to it these days?

Apple+, Disney+, Paramount+, Walmart+…

There’s certainly an additive property to these, but here at Timeless & Timely, you may have noticed that we don’t simply do “+”.

We take a more deliberate and thoughtful approach to things. We know your time is valuable. We appreciate the impact of history, literature, and great thinkers — and we think you deserve more than just more.

 

So we have “&” Subscribers. Or, as we call it:

The Ampersand Guild

Why a guild?

Historically, a guild is “an association of craftsmen or merchants formed for mutual aid and protection and for the furtherance of their professional interests.”

And I like to think we’re doing that here.

Helping you become a better communicator, a better leader, and a better human by focusing on values that have mattered throughout all of human history.

Why “&”?

We chose the “&” symbol, which has a rich and complex history (it’s actually the Latin word Et, stylized), because it’s more than just “+”. It’s more than just more.

It’s the embodiment of collaboration: two letters that combine to make a universal symbol of linking two or more ideas.

And isn’t that what understanding history—understanding others—is really all about? Linking ideas to create something new, something better.

It could be a better product, a better world, or simply a better version of yourself.

That’s what we aim to bring our Guild members.
