馃憢 Hi, I鈥檓 Nick Lafferty.

I lead growth marketing at Magical, a free productivity app that speeds up repetitive tasks as you work. I was previously at Loom and Mailgun.


I've spent millions of dollars on Google ads and hit the front page of Hacker News.


This blog has everything from my favorite guacamole recipe to a comprehensive list of my favorite Notion templates.
