ABOUT FIRST SLICE
People, companies, ideas and stories worth knowing.
First Slice is a newsletter and podcast that goes beyond the headlines to find the people and ideas shaping what's next.
OUR STORY
Started by one curious mind, built for many.
First Slice began with Jared S. Taylor, who got tired of skimming headlines that never told the full story. He started digging into the people and companies behind the news — and realized readers wanted the same depth he was after.
What started as a personal habit of note-taking turned into a newsletter, then a podcast, and now a small community of readers who want their information with more context and less noise.
THE PODCAST
Conversations that go beyond the transcript.
Each episode, Jared sits down with founders, operators, and thinkers to unpack the stories behind the headlines — the decisions, the setbacks, and the ideas that don't make it into a press release.
