Exciting Substack Announcements!
Some Logistical Updates that I Hope Will Be Beneficial to All
Hello Everyone!
As we roll into the fall season (for those of you who subscribe in the Northern Hemisphere), I wanted to give another update of where my publication is and where we are going moving forward.
First, I wanted to say I am so thankful for the exponential growth I have seen from the late spring and over the summer. Even with my 3 week hiatus, there has been massive growth in subscriptions and followers. I can’t wait to see that growth continue as we work towards the goal of eclipsing my Twitter followers by year's end.
It’s also incredibly flattering to not only have a paid subscriber here, but also having a couple people buy me coffees (teas) because of my words. I never would have imagined that in my wildest dreams.
With that being said, I have decided to branch off a new publication. Preston’s Sports Musings will be moving forward now as an independent publication where I put the majority of my sports related content.
Why? Well, I am glad one of you asked. As I have mentioned before, I will be doing a 39 part series on the most influential college football programs of all time this fall. As a result, that’s 13 weeks of 3 posts, minimum. I also will likely be doing other college football, Formula 1, and sports writing in general that is going to be a lot of notifications for some. If you combine that with weekly Health Chronicle updates and musings from other subject matter, that is objectively a ton of pings on one’s phone.
And you know how I am sensitive to wanting to cut those down.
With that in mind I have separated the sports musings. Now, you can look for it yourself, but if you are already subscribed here, you’ll find yourself also on that mailing list as well. If you have no interest in me talking about sports, feel free to remove yourself. I am certainly not offended. At the end of the day, I do this for myself, my mental wellbeing, and the joy of sharing. I expect to see subscriber fluctuation happen, but ideally most people are interested in what I have to say about both sports and life.
So, to recap, new publication! Preston’s Sports Musings is live. I’ll start sharing my most influential college football program project shortly, and I can’t wait to show you all what months of research and internal debate sparked. As much as I’d love to keep this all under one banner, I think the size of the project and scope of my sports musings calls for a new publication instead of just a subsection. Plus, I think the growth calls for it too.
I look forward to continuing to share with you all moving forward, and I want to thank everyone again for the support given so far! It’s been a wonderful time growing and interacting.

Congrats, friend! I appreciate your decision to split your publications. Sometimes i wonder if I should be doing the same! I will probably remove myself from your sports one (sorry, I have zero interest in it, despite sometimes working for college athletics departments.. 🤣🤣) but I definitely am interested in your life musings!
