           Writers are experts in second-guessing themselves—or at least I am. But one writing decision that I feel zero doubt or regret about was launching this newsletter in late February 2020, three years ago this week. What a lovely, flexible vehicle it has turned out to be! Though I initially envisioned the newsletter as a loose, serialized sequel to…

          Having engaged and present readers has, for Mason, become a constant source of encouragement, and even helped overcome bouts of creative block.

          I have never before written for such an engaged and present audience, and it’s been kind of a revelation. I don’t want to disappoint you! That has proved an unbeatable motivator, and a fun challenge. (And a generative one, too. Several times I have gotten ideas for future issues from the back-and-forth in the comments section.) I have always been suspicious of people who say they “enjoy” writing ... but I enjoy writing this newsletter?

           Hey Friends, Thanks for hanging in with me while posting was light over the holiday break. I intended to be back last week but got leveled with a cold/sinus infection thing (hoooo boy it got me) and I’m just getting back on my feet. Blargh. I hope you and yours have been as healthy as possible in this Time of Germs…

          The fourth anniversary of this newsletter passed. FOURTH! FOUR YEARS! I mean, I am nothing if not dedicated to a bit, so I’m not wholly surprised we’re still going here. I have much more trouble quitting things than I do starting things. But also, I like this place. I like talking about writing and books and publishing. I like answering your questions. I like that I’ve trained you not to email me when you see typos (thank you, from the bottom of my dyslexic heart). I like using Mr. ¯\(ツ)/¯ to explain why publishing is what it is.

          Analyzing and writing about stocks is a dream job. It allows you to express your thinking process in detail, to learn about new industries, to share your own perspective on how you see things, to meet people across the globe, and most importantly to help you identify stocks that can generate superior returns.

          I don’t know about you, but I don’t have 1,000 friends—so this was more than people reading as a favor to me. I was producing information that people wanted. That was a critical first step. But how do you turn that into a business?

          At times, running a business like this one has felt like one of those old “Choose Your Own Adventure” books: Do you raise money and expand quickly, or grow gradually (known as “bootstrapping”)? Do you incorporate as a nonprofit business or a for-profit business? Where do you turn for revenue, and how much do you charge?

          Before Record Store, I was collecting hordes of information about music and art and filing it away in the “useless interests” category of my brain, where it took up space but did not provide a lot of meaning or fulfillment. Now this newsletter has hundreds of subscribers that read my artful regurgitations of said useless interests, like OK Go music videos or that one time The National performed “Sorrow” for six hours in an art gallery.

           Dear Carbon Risk subscribers, In the summer of 2021 I left my job as an economist, a position I had worked in for over a decade, with the dream of writing for a living. Full of optimism and brimming with ideas, I spent the next couple of months attempting to write a second edition of my book, …

         <strong>
          Substack’s recommendation feature (launched in April 2022) was vital in turbocharging the growth of Carbon Risk in subscriber numbers.

          Rather than carry on with writing the book, only for readers to see the fruits of my labour several months or more later, I decided to experiment and launch a Substack newsletter instead. With a newsletter I would have a platform to tell readers about carbon markets’ place in the world, how I envisaged it in the future, and how investors and other market participants could benefit.

          I started writing poetry as a way to capture the lost poems of my childhood that had a catchy meter, fun rhyming schemes, and were really memorable as a result. With each passing week, I have found myself thinking about concepts and topics I would hardly think about otherwise. I have become more introspective, less pensive, and more grounded in reality. I have made new friends. I have rediscovered myself again and again. This is magical.
