About

👋 Hey I’m Adam! For over 3 years now I’ve designed and sold custom coins and sobriety coins with my store, The Achieve Mint.

Along the way, I’ve discovered the pride and freedom of running an e-commerce shop where I choose my own hours, choose what I want to work on, and make a real product that I’m proud of that makes a difference in people’s lives (which was something that was often lacking in my previous startup life).

But being a small shop in the big world of the internet can be tough. Production, packaging, shipping, and marketing—it can be a lot.

Here I share my experiences, successes, failures, tips, tricks, product recommendations, and more. You can subscribe to the newsletter here to get the latest in your inbox every Friday.

My past work has appeared in Daring Fireball, TechCrunch, The Verge, Axios Charlotte, The New York Times, Newsweek, and many more, plus I even somehow tricked NRP into having me as a guest on Marketplace.

You can connect with me on LinkedIn, here, or email me at adam at adamhowell dot org.
