New to SubStack. Love this Six Trophies nod, especially after listening to the new episode today.

hey Ashli, Boss Barista is one of my fave reads, your relentless attention to worker rights and — just as you say here — power in the coffee world and beyond… and you know I say this as someone who does not drink coffee (being a devout tea drinker all my life), but who loves reading everything you write (and learning a lot about coffee along the way!)

Jack, you have always been so supportive and engaged (even when I retreat and don't always respond to messages and comments). Thank you so much for sticking with me and the newsletter!

Congratulations! You do an exceptional job, and I always loved not just your commitment, but also your transparency. I know I don't support you economically, but let me tell you there's nothing wrong in asking money for your work, as your paid subscribers show. And yes, you have strong basis for sponsorship too. You are the only non Italian newsletter I follow, and I take a lot of inspiration from your work. Hang in there with all the changes and keep up with your excellent work!

I feel like you're always so plugged in — you respond to many of my stories and make me feel like the work is valuable. It'd be impossible to quantify your impact! Thank you!
