What each issue holds

A useful signal, not another inbox chore.

Each week we read the releases, guidance and research that touch small businesses, keep the few that matter to a working owner, and leave the rest out. Every claim links to where it came from, so you can check it yourself.

  • The signalWhat changed this week, each item linked to its primary source: the vendor's own notes, the agency's guidance, the research paper.
  • The translationWhat it means for a working owner who runs a crew, a shop or an office, in plain words.
  • The next stepOne practical, reversible thing to try, and where a person should still make the call.

Field Notes, in short

How often does Field Notes arrive?

Once a week, on Tuesday morning, Eastern time. A week with nothing worth your time is skipped rather than padded.

What does it cost?

Nothing. Field Notes is free.

How do I leave the list?

Every issue has an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and your email app's own unsubscribe button works too. One click, and nothing more arrives.

Why do I have to confirm my address?

So nobody can sign you up but you. We email a confirm link first, and you are on the list only after you press it.
