Friends of Branded!

Happy Saturday and I hope everyone had a great week and is enjoying the holiday season.

This is (obviously) the last Saturday of 2023 and that means this is the final edition of the H^2 of the year.

I’ve been working hard to shorten this Top of the Fold section and for those counting words, I’ve cut almost 50% off this section. I’ve previously referenced Mark Twain when came to the length of the Top of the Fold section: “I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead.”

As I geared-up and prepared for this final Top of the Fold section for the year, so many ideas, thoughts and themes came to mind. As I white boarded the structure and ways I would attack this section this week, I realized I was setting myself for a big failure with this final installment as opposed to a big win.

The H^2 will continue to roll next week and I aspire for our newsletter to do that in the spirit of the Baltimore Ravens (the hottest team in the NFL right now).

As an early-stage investor in emerging technology, innovation and now restaurant brands in the hospitality industry, I embrace that I'm a risk-taker and I make bets. Readers of the H^2 know that I don’t shy away from the word “bets” b/c when you’re investing in early-stage companies, more than anything else, you’re investing in people and that the leaders of these emerging companies will have the right product, market, fit to deliver value to their targeted audience and win business.
