I’m back!
My last issue of Sent Items was sent May 1, 2021, over 3 months ago. I assure you it was not for lack of content. In fact, the content overload due to the ongoing tumult in eCommerce + Supply Chain is largely to blame for my newsletter tardiness.
I started this newsletter in the Summer of 2017. During this span I have tried to bring this community of readers - eCommerce founders, operators, supply chain practitioners (“logisticians”), academics, capital allocators, as well as my mother - a summary of the news and headlines I found most important in the trailing days.
What I’ve learned is that writing Sent Items (and content of any type) takes time, care and focus and while I wish I could dedicate 5 hours a week, unfortunately, I haven’t been able to.
I am humbled by those who have reached over the last couple of months asking what the heck happened to my newsletter. No, I did not unsubscribe you. Fortunately my core business, Second Marathon, continues to be well positioned to support SMBs, logistics tech co’s and logistics investors, leaving me little time for extracurriculars. My 8-month old puppy is also very demanding:
While I am not proud of the gaps in my writing this year, I commit to restart immediately and share content when I have something to say. It will likely take on more editorial and musings than a syndication of the latest headlines, but I will strive to make it most informative and timely.
Finally: to the 100’s who have subscribed since my last issue and are receiving Sent Items for the 1st time today … Please ignore the above and enjoy!
You’ll hear from me again very soon. I promise.
- Matt
