"If you listened to American politicians, you might think the government lavishes support on small businesses. But that has long been more rhetoric than reality."
Our first newsletter on @substack, including:
-- How car dealers have boosted profits
-- A rare opportunity to hire tech workers
-- @francescamari's thoughts on what her father has given his business (and what's lost as businesses fail)

Nice windfall. Would you spend it or keep it as a reserve?
Dana White took the $200,00 top prize at @DetroitDemoDay. But does she take the money as a loan or a convertible note? Does she pend it on marketing, another location, or creating retail products? Tell us here, and we'll discuss on The @21_Hats Podcast: tinyurl.com/yxp4wsc3
Loren Feldman, who changed my life (for the better) when he hired me at The New York Times, has made the leap to owning his own business. Congratulations Loren!

This week, I'm the one fielding questions and advice because I am now the proud owner of this podcast, a daily email newsletter, and the designs for an unbuilt website. Paul's reaction? "I Would Be Scared, Frankly." Wherever you get podcasts or here: tinyurl.com/y47jurd4
