Sorry about that. I’m working on a few articles at once and want to make sure final products are quality. Additionally, there’s also this odd scheduling aspect of attempting to add reported work to a piece, but never quite knowing when responses will come in. I say “attempting” because I’m gun shy on overpromising now after I once teased an article on flashy real estate mogul Grant Cardone and it didn’t come to pass. In the end, I couldn’t quite crack the case like I wanted, and that’s too bad, because, just look at the hypnotically materialistic videos Cardone puts out.
It's tough deciding what to subscribe to in this still relatively new Substack model. I churn my subscriptions a lot and have settled into, if I can use a metaphor from the wrong sport, Larry Walker types who are always hitting and sometimes just crush the ball (like FdB) or Fred McGriff types who are less consistent but hit it out of the park. I'm fine waiting out a dryspell now and then considering how often these articles are titanic home runs.
Where's Sarah Spain's review/take on your Nike Essay? Did she ever make a public statement on this? The saying often is, any news is good news! Just ask Scottie Pippen's publicist. LOL. And am I missing something, else? What is the "take economy system"??
BTW - you did a nice job on Cowherd's nationally syndicated program the other day. I know it's kind of a quick-hit though, and doesn't lend itself as much to your talents, as you are a long-form man, whether it is the written word or podcasts.
Pauca sed matura.
If it works for Carl Gauss, it works for the rest of us.
Transparency is always a plus. Thanks Ethan.

Playoff KAT level production out of you, Ethan.
Now I really want a Cardone piece.
It's all about quality over quantity.
Appreciate the heads as I enjoy being your head with your articles and narrated articles.
Since you don’t sound busy enough the boys over at +/- mentioned you today on the podcast would love to hear you again on there!

You do you, E. Looking forward.
