A monthly analog newsletter about product strategy, judgment, and restraint.
Crafted with care for those who lead and build with intention.12 issues per year, human-written and delivered on paper to your actual door.
The Product Letter is a monthly, analog, long-form newsletter for people who build products and make decisions that compound. This newsletter is printed on high-quality paper, punched, and mailed flat. It's meant to be read carefully (preferably with a pen nearby) and kept, not forwarded.
For product managers, leaders and strategists who:
Feel the cost of speed
Know that shortcuts compound as debt
Trust the hard choice
Value depth over volume
Think of this experience like receiving an unofficial Master's degree in product strategy. If that doesn't immediately resonate, this isn't for you.
Get 12 issues per year, delivered by mail.
Each issue contains an essay on strategy, judgment, or craft, a perspective on navigating your career, and a prompt for reflection.If you cancel, you can't re-subscribe later.
This is a deliberate commitment. Subscribe carefully, or not at all.
Note: hardship support is available; see details here).
If you experience financial or professional hardship during your subscription, you don't need to disappear or explain yourself. Quite the opposite!During my subscribers' challenging seasons, I offer additional support (in the form of conversations, connections, or time). I want you to be able to think clearly and stay oriented, because judgement matters most when things are hard.

I spent nearly two decades building products at growth-stage B2B SaaS companies, learning what works (and what breaks) when you scale fast. My career has been delightfully messy and nonlinear, exactly like the work itself.The Product Letter is the newsletter I wish I'd had all along: a monthly pause to step away from the screens and think. Permission to trust my intuition. A reminder that the art of product matters as much as the science. It's also the mentor I wish I'd found sooner, not afraid of real talk and the soft stuff.My dream is that you'll save each issue, take notes in the margins, and return to it when you need to remember why you fell in love with this work in the first place.
