Welcome to OUTLET

One Useful Thing Literally Every Time (OUTLET) helps make your work and life better.

Each month I share with you something genuinely useful that will help you be better at work or life. It might be a new resource, tool or model, or just something fun or interesting. But always useful, I promise.

I know that your inbox is one of your last remaining sacred spaces where you can still control who’s invited and who is not without an algorithm getting too much in the way. So I promise to make each monthly email as useful as possible.

Hi, I’m Tim Duggan

I'm an optimist, author and advisor who firmly believes in the power of business to do good.

I've co-founded several digital media ventures, most notably Junkee Media, one of the leading digital publisher for young Australians, which was acquired by ASX-listed oOh!media.

My new book, Work Backwards, explores out complicated relationship with work, and how anyone can take advantage of this once-in-a-generations moment to rethink it all. It was published in Australia and New Zealand in May 2024, and in the UK and US on November 21.

My first book, Cult Status: How To Build A Business People Adore, was awarded the Best Entrepreneurship and Small Business Book at the 2021 Australian Business Book Awards. My second book on creativity in the workplace, Killer Thinking: How to Turn Good Ideas into Brilliant Ones, was named by Apple Books as one of the best books of the year.

I'm also the Chairman of the Digital Publishers Alliance, a group representing over 150 titles from the leading independent publishers in the country, as well as working with a range of businesses that I'm passionate about.

About all of that, however, I genuinely want to help you learn how to work, and live, better. So, welcome to OUTLET.
