Financial Interest Disclosure
I talk about a lot of companies in this industry - on the podcast, in the newsletter, on LinkedIn, and inside Crane. Some of them pay me, some I’m a shareholder in, and some I just genuinely use and/or recommend.
You deserve to know which is which.
This page lists every financial relationship I have that could reasonably influence what I say or recommend. I'll update it whenever something changes. If I mention a company anywhere in my content and they're on this list, it may be tied to my financial connections, even if I don't call it out in that specific post or episode. (It may also just be that I like what they're doing, or they came out with something interesting. Either way, at least you know where I stand.)
If a company isn't on this list, I have no financial relationship with them.
