Writing
Dirt and Stars
A newsletter every other week about consumer brands, the money behind them, and whatever happened at the ranch that made it make sense.
Some issues are about the market: who raised, who sold, and what I think it means. Some are about a horse, or my son, or a fence that won’t hold a charge. Most are both.
You won’t get a hot take every week. You’ll get what I’m seeing from up here.
