What brand has made Matt smile recently? Matt loves Superhuman — a tool that helps him be more efficient with email. Since I turned Matt's question on him, he did the same thing to me — asking me for a brand that's made me smile recently. I went with Criquet Shirts. I love their shirts and the brand's presence on Instagram.
