WRITING
Business
Business lessons from building Morning Brew and everything that came after. "Announcing Our Partnership with Vercel" was a huge moment, five years in the making. I keep coming back to partnership stories like this because the behind-the-scenes work rarely gets talked about. "The 50-Day Culture Test" resonated with a lot of readers. I used to think core values were total bullshit. Writing about what changed my mind helps me stay honest about it.
