issue 117 | 12.23.19

Hello! This one might as well be a chapter out of my auto-biography. The year, and decade, that was. A reflection. The…

issue 115 | 12.9.19

Hello! Just a heads up, this is probably my longest issue to date. My preamble alone will take ~4 mins to read. Here it goes:

When I was younger, I routinely cycled through YouTube-first media companies for content, also known as multi-channel networks (MCNs). I still…

Hello! Today marks the last day of summer. It’s blue skies and sunshine here in Laguna Beach. I’m going to miss this place. This is my last week home in LA/OC before moving back to NYC. More on that next week. I’m about to head to the beach to go surf, swim, and play. Speaking of, this week…

issue 70 | 1.28.19

Hello! I spent the weekend on Waiheke Island for a wedding, by far one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. A couple of lengthy thoughts about topics in tech and media — this is a follow up to my 2019 predictions. 1) I don’t know when the OTT craze will end (anotha one!), but I’ve…

issue 59 | 10.29.18

Hello! So it’s been a minute since I’ve gone a salty rant, and I feel the need to vent. Plus, I always get emails afterward so it makes this newsletter a bit more fun and conversational for me. Okay, I’m frustrated with people who shower others with praise for coming up with “new” content…

issue 114 | 12.2.19

Hello! I read too many words without action, and sometimes, I write them too. Hoover said these are the assassins of idealism. Guilty as charged. These grandiose proclamations, predictions, ideals, miscalls — whatever you want to call them — grind my gears as they’re often not put to the test…
