Editorial Guidelines
Since the goal is for you to have all the information you need before making a purchase, we follow a simple content-creation guideline for all our content. This has lead us to develop an extremely high standard of quality for our content.
We have a 4 step editorial procedure:
- Topic Research and Outlining. Our research and outline team, internally called Green Team, researches subjects / topics and selects the ones they think will help our readers the most. After they have decided on a subject / topic, they outline a post that covers all aspects of the subject / topic and that is well interconnected to the content of The Golden and our other brands.
- Content Research, Testing, and Writing. Our writing team, internally called Yellow Team, uses their expertise to create content designed to teach you how to be better (at whatever it is you want to be better at).
- Beautification + Interactivity + User Design. Our beautification team, internally known as Purple Team, beautifies our post, adding high quality images, tables of content, and other items to help you get the most out of the post. They then coordinate with our other teams to add fun interactive features like quizzes, videos, infographics, and much more.
- Fact/Safety Edit + Managing Editor Approval. Before the post hits our Managing Editor's desk, it is first checked by the manager of each of our internal teams (Purple, Green, Yellow). These managers check the post to ensure that it meets our high-quality standards (checking for proper grammar, correct spelling, amazing usability, easy readability, etc.). Finally, the post goes to the site's Managing Editor, Aya Bradley, who thoroughly checks, edits and approves all of The Golden’s published content.
But we don't stop there. We see our ever-expanding library of content as just that... an actual real-world library. We do not stop once we hit 'Publish'. We instead are constantly updating and improving everything we release.
Now: We take great pride and responsibility in our content and our editorial standards. They are the backbone of everything we publish. If you ever see a piece of content that you feel is not up to your or our standards, we want to make it better... so, please contact us here.
PS: Please note, any and all link-insertion requests are immediately deleted (most are auto-deleted via spam filters).
Fact Checkers
As Step #4 of our Editorial Procedure, all content is fact checked by our team of managers and by our Managing Editor, Aya Bradley. They complete a wide range of fact checking, from personal expertise to deep research of facts, statements, and everything in between. They ensure that everything we publish is accurate, and up-to-date.
With that we are human and in rare cases, might make mistakes. If you think you see an error on our site, please get in touch here.

Jasper Chase - Social Skills And Questions Editor
Jasper is our wordsmith, joke-master and expert conversationalist. Growing up, Jasper had a hard time with basic social interactions. It just didn’t click with his logical brain. But, being intellectual and intelligent… he started to study and focus on positive social interactions. What he learned, was how to be likable and socialable, without it seemingly learned to other people.
Out of that, saying he has a way with words would be an understatement. From questions to ask, conversation starters to jokes and puns, he’s the man. Oh and he always has an inspirational quote, or quippy word on deck. Unsurprisingly, he loves to read, so he’s got plenty of knowledge when it comes to books and he’s unrecognizable without his thick glasses. He has even gotten into journaling and writing over the past few years.
Jasper lives in Georgia with his new bride. They have a big garden and a very small (but growing) fruit orchard.

He loves video games (he WILL beat you in Mario Kart), he loves Catan… but he also loves non-traditional games (like icebreakers). His love of games even extends to word games like riddles and brain teasers. When he is not gaming, he loves comedy, funny movies, and telling/collecting jokes.
Brian Andrada - Food and Drink Writer
Brian is the ultimate foodie, expert chef, and barbecue master. He grew up watching his dad work in the kitchen of a restaurant that their family previously owned.

Brian loves to have people over for backyard barbecues and loves his cast iron. He makes the best cocktails and his biggest dream is to open his own cocktail bar.
