Morning Brew

Morning Brew built its audience by making business news readable for people who never studied finance. Founded by Alex Lieberman and Austin Rief, it distills the day's markets, tech, and corporate headlines into a short, conversational email that skips the jargon without dumbing down the substance. It has since grown into one of the largest email publishers in the country and spun off a small family of sister newsletters covering marketing, retail, and technology.

The daily edition runs through a handful of top stories, a business-news roundup, and a lighter closing section, usually finishing in under five minutes. Its tone, equal parts explainer and inside joke, is a big reason it became the template that a decade of business newsletters have since copied.
