Welcome.  Thanks for coming.  Take your coat off and get comfortable.  If you look around, you'll notice this is a brand new website.  Hey, it's a brand new Nomad.  We're focused on one thing, and one thing only - Nomad...

On my first day at Nomad, I came in with a white button- down shirt and navy blue chinos. I had no idea what kind of environment I was jumping into. I’ve never worked for a startup before, and the...

Whoa.  What a couple of days.  Our Kickstarter came together pretty hastily in the past couple of days.  So far, the response has been incredible.  We hit our initial goal within 16 hours of launching, and our initial stretch goal...

On Monday, we took a day to have fun together as a team.  We've only recently become a team, with Jose and Dan jumping on board.  We followed the Ramones and took the A train down to Rockaway Beach. Couple of takeaways: Dan and...

Jon and I are both amateur athletes.  Jon runs.  I cycle and do triathlons.  Jon is definitely the better athlete, but we both have a lot of fun with it.  We're both realists.  We're never going to win the Boston...

Product/Market Fit.  This might be a boring topic to someone who doesn't run a business, but it's what we've been living for months now.  Paul Graham, writer, entrepreneur, founder of Y Combinator, and all around smart guy sums up product/market fit succinctly,...

That picture up top?  The handsome young man?  That's Jose, one of our summer interns. Interns?  Nomad? Yup.  We're happy to say that there are a few more Nomads joining us.  This summer, we'll be joined by Jose and Daniel. ...

Someone asked me the other day what "radical sustainability" means to us, and why we use it.  It was a good moment to reflect.  We throw the term around a lot, but haven't really explained it anywhere, so here goes:...

Last week, Bloomberg published a piece about cascara fetching a higher price than green coffee.  As a baseline, I get excited anytime that an article is published about cascara.  The main hurdle we face is education.  If ten more people know what...

If we were only talking booch, Pilot makes the best kombucha you can get in New York.  Period.  No questions asked.  The Celery Juniper? That stuff is amazing. The package design is so clean.  Based on product alone, Pilot can and will...

Jon and I sometimes get philosophical while we're stuck in traffic on our cascara delivery routes.  We recently listened to an episode of Freakonomics, "In Praise of Incrementalism".  It makes a compelling case that consistent practice and work yield results. ...

It's 9:50pm.  I just got home from the New York Coffee Fest, during which is consumed a few cups of Cascara, our new Mint Cacao Brew, and countless cups of coffee from our friends at Nobletree.  Here are some thoughts from...

I'll be the first to admit that sometimes, I forget to call my parents.  I see I have a missed call from my mom, register it, think, 'oh, I'll call her back when I'm done running this delivery.'  Next thing I...

Everyone once in a while, we’ll do these posts about brands we love.  It’s a big world out there, with lots of cool people doing progressive work.  We’ll fawn over them for a few hundred words and hopefully you’ll check...

Jon and I have been at work, making Nomad Trading Co. a real company that sells a product and that has our desired impact since last August.  It’s a long time to work on something, without producing anything tangible.  We’ve...
