You found The Acorn. You’ve been reading along. Maybe you’ve shared a post, bookmarked something, or forwarded an issue to a friend who needed to hear it.
That means more than you know.
And now I want to give you somewhere else to stay connected — something a little quieter, a little more direct, and a little more personal than a blog post.
Starting June 2026, I’m launching The Oak & Co. Letter.
What it is
Once a month, you’ll get a short email from me. Not a marketing blast. Not a template dressed up with my name on it. A real note — what I’ve been thinking about, one financial idea worth acting on, and a look at what I’ve been writing over on The Acorn.
That’s it. Concise, honest, and written for real people who are busy and don’t have time for noise.
Who it’s for
If you’ve ever wanted to hear from your financial advisor like an actual human being — not a brand, not a compliance-reviewed newsletter from a firm you’ve never met — this is that.
It’s for the person who wants to stay financially informed without being sold to. The person who reads The Acorn on a Saturday morning with coffee and thinks, “I needed that today.”
It goes out toward the end of each month. One email. Worth it.
How to subscribe
Click the link below, drop in your email, and you’re in. The first issue goes out this June.
No pressure. No pitch. Just good things in your inbox, once a month.
And if you’re already a Partnership client…
There’s something else coming — something just for you.
Partnership clients receive a separate letter called The Deep Roots Letter. It’s more personal, more in-depth, and more intimate than anything I publish publicly. Think of it as a behind-the-scenes look at the work — what I’m thinking about, what I’m seeing in planning conversations, and what it means for your financial life specifically. It’s the kind of letter you write to people you’re actually in relationship with.
It arrives toward the middle of each month — starting this June.
You don’t need to do anything to sign up. If you’re a Partnership client, you’re already on the list.
Not a Partnership client yet but curious what that looks like? I’d love that conversation.
