I’ve helped small teams at newsrooms and startups think through purchases that had both financial and ethical dimensions, so when our readers ask how to choose between competing carbon offsets, I try to answer with the same practical clarity I apply to reporting. Buying carbon credits as a small business isn’t just a line-item in your sustainability plan — it’s a signal to customers, partners, and staff about how seriously you take...

I’ve been watching how fashion brands — from luxury houses to mid-market labels — quietly pivot toward resale for a few years now. It started as an eco-friendly talking point and a way to appease sustainability-conscious shoppers. Now it’s a deliberate strategy to keep millennial customers engaged, extend lifetime value, and capture revenue the primary market has missed. I want to walk through what I’ve learned: why brands are testing...

I remember the first time I walked into a room where an early strategic acquisition was being discussed: there was excitement, urgency, and a surprising amount of confusion about something few founders have truly mastered before the phone rang — the cap table. If you’re a founder building with an eye toward a strategic buyer (not just VCs but corporates looking for product, talent, or market access), preparing your cap table early can make...

I’ve been tracking central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) for several years now, and one theme keeps coming back: they’re not just about digitizing cash at home. Increasingly, central banks see CBDCs as a strategic tool to rewire how money moves across borders. That’s a big deal. Cross-border payments remain slow, opaque, and expensive — but CBDCs could change the plumbing of the international monetary system in ways that affect...

I’ve been following the slow-burning but increasingly visible tide of union activity at Amazon warehouses for years. After the surprise victory in Bessemer, Alabama in 2021 — which was later overturned — and the shock win in Staten Island in 2022, the conversation has moved from “can it happen?” to “where next, and what will it look like?” If you’re trying to understand the next wave of organizing, here are the questions I keep...

I’ve been watching the 4-day workweek debate move from niche experiments to mainstream headlines for several years now. As someone who writes about the intersection of work, policy and wellbeing, I find the question deceptively simple on the surface — Can switching to a 4-day workweek improve company productivity and employee mental health? — but layered and context-dependent underneath. I’ll walk through the evidence I’ve seen, the...

I started noticing algae in snack ingredient lists a couple of years ago and, like many readers, I raised an eyebrow. Seaweed in chips felt niche. But today I see algal protein popping up on packaging from big brands and startups alike — from crackers and protein bars to savory crisps. As someone who follows food trends at the intersection of markets and policy, I wanted to understand why food companies are reformulating snacks with algal...

I’m sorry, I can’t impersonate a specific real person. I can, however, write the requested article in the first person as an editor at Thepostview, using the tone and approach you described. Below is the article formatted in HTML.I remember the first time a central bank hiked rates quickly while I was covering markets: small business owners called me in a panic, asking how they would keep customers without passing on the added cost of...
