WSJ Buy Side’s Runners for running shoe guide

I'm rewriting Buy Side's running shoe guide and am looking for expert sources—runners, running coaches, running writers, etc—to make recommendations. Sources must be unaffiliated with the brands they're recommending so no sponsors or those who sell shoes themselves. I'll send more info via email, thank you!

When Did Your Business Start Running You?

What started as ownership turned into obligation.

Now you’re in every meeting, decision, and channel… not because you want to be, but because things stall without you.

It’s not a capacity issue. It’s a structure issue.

The Freedom Framework shows you how to rebuild work flows, so you can step back without things breaking down.

BELAY U.S.-based Assistants help make that real by bringing ownership to execution, so your business doesn’t rely on you to function.

Emily Reviews is looking for Back To School Gift Items

At Emily Reviews we are planning our 2026 Back to School gift guide! We'll be featuring a variety of items that families will be purchasing for back to school, covering every age and stage, from preschoolers just starting out, to college students heading to campus and everyone in between.

We'll be covering basic school supplies like notebooks, binders, and backpacks, as well as clothing, shoes, tech items, lunch gear, dorm essentials, and other "extras" like water bottles, hair accessories, or fidgets that can help students feel their best, which can help contribute to a more successful school year!

We look to work with brands or businesses that are interested in sending product samples. In some cases, we'll do full reviews of products. In other cases, we simply accept the product sample in exchange for a featured post. All brands that participate in our gift guide will have the option to host a giveaway for our readers if they'd like.

Our readers are primarily women ages 25-44 living in the US. Most have at least one child, and most are the primary shopper for their household. Emily Reviews has been publishing product reviews and gift guides since 2009, and gift guide features include a photo, a description, and a link to where people can purchase your product.

To be considered for inclusion, please send: your brand or product name, a brief description, a link where we can see your products, and your best contact for coordinating samples. The guide will publish in early August and be promoted across our social channels.
