Welcome back to season two of Off the Grid! This week I’ve got a thot take (that's a thoughtful hot take) of an episode for all our newsletter writers out there.

By popular request, I’m exploring the rise of Substack. And I’m asking whether this newsletter/podcast/threads/notes platform is good for small businesses or bad for them.

I’m also helping you answer the question, Is Substack right for me? Tune in to hear more about:

• The pros of Substack
• The promises Substack makes to its creators
• Whether or not Substack is social media
• How Substack might be harming small businesses more than helping them
