Hay is a premium email service for people who are tired of having an inbox overflowing with things they don't care about and who value their privacy and online security. You're probably familiar with the names behind Hay. Jason Freed and David DHH. Hanna Meyer Hansen, creators of Basecamp. Both Jason and David have been on this podcast, and they're two of the most innovative and contrarian entrepreneurs I've met. So back to the story of Hay. For almost two decades, email, as you know, has remained unchanged, soulless, chaotic, and borderline abusive. Your inbox is packed with all sorts of emails from people that you don't care about.

and all framed by a multitude of ads that watch your every move. If you think about it, you have an email account, but you really have no control over it. That is where Hay comes in. So try the Hay Way. What does that mean? Your inbox should be for important stuff. That's why Hay made the inbox, I-M-B O X, where important things go.
