What is up everyone? This is Alex Lieberman co-founder and CEO of Morning Brew coming to you with another episode of The Founders Journal.

My daily audio diary made public for the world where I talk about the most impactful lessons,

learnings, wins, losses, and moments behind the scenes at Morning Brew.

As always, I'm joined by my co-pilot Josh Kaplan and today we're talking about reflecting on one of

Morning Brew's early employees leaving the brew. Let's do it.

So long Tyler.

What do you think about it?

Yeah, employee number two at Morning Brew.

Been with us for the last three years.

He joined us basically straight out of working on his own business

after college and it's pretty crazy it's you know it's obviously always crazy to lose an employee,

but to lose someone who has been so integral

to what Morning Brew has become.

And I just have such vivid memories

of alongside you and a few other people on our team literally being in like a four-person

we work office with boxes of swags stacked up that we literally made like a swag thrown out of where you know not only

what was you know the writer the writer but the writer was you know the design

person and the swag packer and the email responder and so I'm kind of

feeling all the feelings around Tyler leaving I would say the biggest one is

just gratitude you know it's I'm not blowing smoke when I say it,

where it's just like where Morning Brew is today,

it would be physically impossible
