Hello my friends,

Over the past few months, I’ve been thinking of ways CMMN WLTH could provide value beyond these weekly updates.

I continue to believe that there is a significant lack of resources on the internet for creatives, particularly in the product domain.

To begin to address this opportunity I’ve spun up a job board focused on creative jobs in the sports and fashion industry. Similar to this newsletter it’s a curation of the best opportunities I find.

I’ve focused on sports and fashion because it’s the industry that I know and where most subscribers come from. However, I’ll continue to iterate until I find signal.
