5 reasons to join Nexus Pro

April 26, 2020

Hey friends,

Starting this Thursday, April 30th, some Nexus content will be exclusively available to members of Nexus Pro. And starting today, I’ll stop asking you to sign up. Promise. 😉

Here are 5 reasons you should join:

It’s a resource you can trust—My whole career, I’ve been wanting more unbiased, in-depth content on our industry. How is the industry changing and where is it going? Which new products are hype and which are disruptive? I’ve learned it takes a lot of time to wade through marketing pitches, research papers, and shallow articles to find the signal in the noise. Nexus is my attempt at sharing my evolving lens on the industry with you—without the fluff.

The only bias I have is that I can’t share any details on my projects at NREL. That’s it. This lack of bias is built right into the Nexus Pro business model. The low price and lack of sponsors mean the business doesn’t depend on any single member, company, perspective, or technology. And it most certainly doesn’t depend on maintaining the status quo. 🙌

  1. You can learn with me—If you’re like me and you want more in-depth content, the kind that actually helps us do our jobs better, deep dives are written for you. In order to support their production, Deep Dives (like this one and this one) and podcast show notes (like these) will now be for members only.
  2. Understand the marketplace—members get access to the ever-evolving Nexus Vendor Landscape, a notebook on the smart building marketplace. If you’re a vendor trying to stay differentiated, this will help. If you’re a building owner or you serve building owners, this will help.
  3. Meet other smart building nerds and changemakers—Soon, I’ll be announcing our first members-only event held over Zoom. Knowing the people that have signed up so far, I predict some great discussions and connections.
  4. It’s a business expense—Finally, let’s be honest… this is a business expense. Most of you can just put this on your expense report. And at $19/month or $199/year, it costs a fraction of research reports that don’t check all of the boxes above.

If you sign up on or before 4/30, you’ll get the early adopter discount, forever.

Get 20% off forever

If you’re not sold, fair enough. I hope you enjoy the weekly newsletter and bi-weekly podcast. Both of which will always be free for anyone.

Have a great week!

Thank you for being a Nexus subscriber,

James
