About The Common Co
Making Sense of A Noisy World
I started The Common Co with one simple idea: to make sense of a noisy world. We’re a grassroots media company built on clarity, curiosity and connection. Life feels complicated – but finding common ground doesn’t have to be.
Empowering Everyday People Through Meaningful Media and Authentic Storytelling
We believe in honest conversations, lived experiences and stories that cut through the noise. Our mission is simple: empower everyday people with tools, ideas and perspectives that help us live better, think deeper and stay connected.
Meet The Team
We’re Leah and Eithan – creators, dreamers, partners and parents. Together, we’re raising three teens, navigating big life shifts and building a business that’s about curiosity, creativity and community.
Leah is the creative director – a writer, storyteller and the voice and brains behind much of what you’ll read here.
Eithan is the systems mind – a problem-solver with a knack for tech, structure and bringing ideas to life.
Together, we make up The Common Co.
