For the things we choose to build, and the lives we build around them.
The Long Build
Building the product is only the beginning.
What does it really take to build a product, survive the messy middle, and grow a bootstrapped SaaS company into maturity? The Long Build explores the sustained work behind that journey: the experience of building, the demands of staying with it, and what growth asks of a founder.

They Served
Dessert First
Love, intimacy, and the life after the beginning.
A candid, warm account of love, sex, family life, and what nobody explains about the long middle of marriage. They Served Dessert First turns toward the lived experience of sharing a life: the relationship beyond the opening chapter, and the work of staying present in it.
