What is your unfair advantage?

I'm asking this in the context of your startup / newsletter / business. A lot of new founders (like myself) will often spiral into focussing too much on the disadvantages we may have but we often overlook the small advantages we have over others. For myself, I'm a member of a community called @SomalisinTech, this group is incredibly supportive and engaging. I feel like it's my 'unfair advantage' as a founder. This among other small advantages. So, I pose the question to you, what's your unfair advantage?

When to know to sign off while working remotely?

How many breaks do you often take while working from home? And for how long. Also, what do you do during your break time :)

40% weekly newsletter open rate achieved, 1100 subscribers, new startup: what's a good benchmark?

I started building product and community around my startup May 2020, did a soft launch mid Sept 2020. Through out the process I've taken my weekly newsletter very seriously. I average a 35% open rate, 4% click rate, 10% click-to-open rate. I'm curious about benchmark open rates for early-stage startups, growing email subscriber communities. Happy to share my strategy for newsletters as well. I researched the best newsletters in circulation, best practices, and developed a content structure and style that people read, and gets sales and referrals.
