What Is The 5RQ Companion?

5 Random Questions is built around a simple idea:

A good question can stop you for a moment, and a great one can stay with you long after you’ve read it.

Each week, I send one thoughtful question to your inbox. No threads. No prompts. No productivity hacks.

Just a question worth sitting with.

  • Some are inspired by conversations on the 5 Random Questions podcast.

  • Some come from things I’ve been thinking about.

  • Some are questions I don’t have answers to myself.

You can read it in under a minute. You can think about it for much longer - or not at all.

There’s no right way to engage with it. You don’t need to reply (but I’d love it if you do!). You don’t need to share.

It’s just a pause in the week, and a question you might not have asked yourself otherwise.


The Sixth Question

If you’d like to support the newsletter, you can become a paid subscriber.

Paid subscribers can submit The Sixth Question - a question to inspire a future issue of the newsletter.

Every Sixth Question supporter gets:

  • submit your question for a future issue

  • exclusive invite to take part in live recordings

  • producer credit on the show

Supporting the newsletter costs less than the price of a coffee, but gives you a much longer lasting taste of satisfaction.
