Say Hello.

Broad Brief was built on a simple idea: Philadelphia deserves a newsletter that actually helps people make smarter financial decisions. Every week I dig through the noise — real estate, restaurants, jobs, small business — and pull out what actually matters for your wallet.

I'm Mike O'Connell, a Philadelphian who started Broad Brief because I kept finding myself forwarding local news articles to friends with the note "you need to see this." Eventually it made more sense to just write it up myself.

Whether you want to say hi, pitch a story, advertise, or just tell me I got something wrong — my inbox is always open.
