Slate Spark Monthly Dispatch
We just launched the February 2026 Monthly Dispatch, the first in a new monthly series for clients.
The Monthly Dispatch is a subscription-based print and digital essay series offering thoughtful perspective on where business, culture, and strategy are converging. Each issue explores a single monthly theme through an original essay, curated inspiration, and practical insight, designed to help readers think more clearly, make better decisions, and navigate a rapidly shifting, clean-slate landscape.
We are offering the February Dispatch for free. Starting in March, you can buy each one as a one-off or subscribe.
More on the subscription options below.
If you are not on our client list, you can subscribe for $35 per month.
What's Included
Each subscriber receives a printed dispatch by mail during the first week of every month. This is a physical piece, sent to your mailing address.
Inside, you will find the monthly dispatch essay, curated inspiration tied to the theme of the month, and additional personalized promotion tailored to you and your work. You will also have access to a PDF version on our website.
Subscribers receive expanded content customized to their particular circumstances. That added material may include industry-specific context related to the month’s topic, practical recommendations you can apply directly, and strategic adjustments to help you better leverage what the dispatch is proposing.
The February Dispatch


A sneak peek into our February package...
-
The piece introduces the Monthly Dispatch as a monthly interruption designed to prompt pause, reflection, and clearer thinking in a noisy, overextended world. February’s focus is on reducing rather than adding, reclaiming time and attention, and returning to smaller, more intentional circles where real influence and meaningful relationships are built.
