Happy five-year anniversary, Charleston. It’s wild to think about our very first newsletter, which we sent exactly five years ago on Feb. 15, 2018. Who remembers our launch party at Edmund’s Oast Brewing Company? 🎉

Here’s how we’ve grown through the years...

  • Subscribers: We started with 10,500 by our launch in February. Shout out to all of you who took a leap of faith and subscribed to us pre-launch and are still waking up with us. Today, weve grown to 54,000 subscribers and appreciate every single one of you. If you haven’t joined the conversation, here’s your opportunity.
