The Ultiworld Editor-in-Chief shares his thoughts on the state of the industry.
December 23, 2024 by Charlie Eisenhood in Analysis
Outside of my work at Ultiworld, I have found myself increasing drawn to the world of finance and investing. Perhaps that shouldn’t be much of a surprise — I studied economics in college, have been running businesses of some type since I was in middle school, and have always enjoyed reporting on business topics, even back in college.
One of the features of the finance universe is annual investor or shareholder letters, sharing thoughts on the state of the markets, the global geopolitical landscape, and other matters pertinent to the industry. I thought it might be helpful for both myself (writing helps you think) and readers if I wrote down my thoughts on the disc sports industry as it stands at the end of 2024. I spend time discussing these topics on my podcasts and with colleagues, but it’s been a while since I put my thoughts on paper. Please feel free to email me ([email protected]) or comment below with any thoughts.
