Banks Benitez

Hi, I'm Banks. I am a Colorado-based entrepreneur and writer.

Every month for the last eight years, I've written a letter to my friends. It's been a chance to explore ideas around leadership, entrepreneurship, society, and being human in a fast-paced world. You can check out recent editions by scrolling to the right.

I've been stunned by what's possible when you slowly build trust in the inbox. This letter has produced 7+ figures worth of new business and opportunities. It has maintained and deepened relationships. And it has shaped me into the person I am.

Today I help other brands and leaders do the same through my company Future Forest. We are a boutique newsletter agency that cuts through the noise with honest and human content. We work with a small group of clients to produce soulful, original work.
