Discovering and subscribing to Dying Breed this year has been a real pleasure. I'm a longtime AoM reader and podcast listener, and I've appreciated Dying Breed as a deeper, more contemplative place to settle in and consider life's various aspects. Even now in my 40s and married, I still get a lot of value from AoM, so I'm thrilled to continue to have both outlets as options for self-development and discovery.
I like this format because I can directly support the content this way. Most of the ads on AoM are things I really don’t care about so you don’t make much in referrals off me. This is more direct. Direct is good.
This is the blog that drew me to substack. It's my first paid subscription and I never regretted that. It's what inspired me to write my blog. Probably that is the only criticism people can level against you.
Dying Breed was my intro to Substack, there were quite a few authors I subscribed too coming over that I won’t renew, but Dying Breed is an automatic renewal for me! Keep up the great work.
Great wrap-up post highlight your outstanding content throughout the year. As a newer paid subscriber, this is great to have one spot to be able to go back and read the gems I haven’t seen yet. Easily one of my favorite accounts on the platform.
Definitely a great subscription! It’s been fun following you from AoM to this as it feels like a natural maturation and development. I’m thankful that AoM has been there as a men’s lifestyle magazine/podcast and now this scratches the itch for deeper content. Looking forward to 2026!
What a great first year in the books! Really enjoy your content here in the substack in addition to the podcast and blog. I love the Dying Breed logo too. If you offer shirts or hoodies, I’d happily purchase one. Thanks for all you do and best wishes in the new year!
Congratulations and so well-deserved! I echo what so many folks here have already said. I can count on one hand (and it isn't 5) how many websites I still visit and podcasts I listen to, but I still read most of what you guys put out and listen to nearly all of the podcasts. Love every bit of it. So much of my reading list over the past few years has come from you guys as well. Not to mention up here on my whiteboard is my home maintenance checklist, right behind me is my butler book...
Keep up the exceptional work! You two make a whole lot of our lives better.
Thank you, Brett and Kate, for gifting to us DB. The work done through this subscription edified me and made be a stronger and better man. I read every article. I look forward to 2026.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the articles that you put out on Dying Breed. This is the only Substack that I have a paid subscription to due to the fact that I am very picky about where I spend my blue collar money. This one was a no brainer, I loved the AoM podcast and I enjoyed the articles that I read from the website, so I knew that this was going to be a hit with me. Brett and Kate, you did not disappoint. Looking forward to next year.
