WE NEED HONEST DISCUSSIONS
My name is Zac Small.
I’ve realized that most online content is designed to distract people from their lives and loved ones.
I’m a Married Father of two (a Son & a Daughter), Sober (2-10-2025), an Author, Key Note Speaker, 8 Year Active-Duty U.S. Navy Veteran (two deployments aboard the USS Harry S Truman), and as of 2023, a Photographer.
One thing that has made me stand out in what may seem like a very “normal” life is the odds stacked against me from the onset.
Read the content to learn more about me, what I’ve been through, and how I can help you overcome those lingering coping mechanisms, fears, and self-limitations you may have placed upon yourself.
My writing is meant to make people aware of what’s happening in the world and (this is the important part) how to use that knowledge to position oneself and family to get ahead in life.
ENTER THE DAILY DRAFT
I’ve experienced quite a bit in my time on this Earth, and I’ve made it a point to be open and honest about my failures as much as my successes.
That’s what you’re going to find in these published works.
I may make a few mistakes, introduce you to uncomfortable subjects, and we may find ourselves outright disagreeing. Still, everything I release here will be done to generate productive discussions, even if what’s produced is only of entertainment value.
The global focus and emphasis on national matters overshadow what’s happening locally and within one’s mind. I’m here to deliver content that helps you see what's happening, shows you ways to resist the influence, and helps you stay ahead of the trends.

Who?
Zachary Small is the sole owner, writer, and researcher for The Daily Draft Newsletter with Zac Small
What?
The focus here will be on daily trends and life experiences, and I will also address certain elements unique to me, such as being a veteran, getting sober, losing a parent to suicide, overcoming a less-than-stellar past, and dealing with the many twists and turns I’ve faced along my path in life.
When?
Paid subscribers will receive seven articles a week, five of the seven will be available in full to free subscribers
Where?
These articles will be found on TheDailyDraftNewsletter.com and sent to the email address you used when registering.
Why?
I like to write, and I want people to win.
How?
I normally write a piece the day before I publish.
Still, if I know I’m going on vacation with my family or on a retreat with the private men’s community I’m a part of, the Fraternity of Excellence, I will schedule the articles to be published later.
To those who join, welcome, I am happy to have you here.
To those who don’t, you’ll be back when you realize all of your other content creators are exposed for not living the message they’re spreading or when your life gets worse because you fail to address the issues of your past.
