It’s a momentous day for me and for Lucid Commerce.
Today marks the last day of my 24-year journey from freelance designer and developer to agency owner to soloist—and the countless roles woven in between.
I’ve always loved the people and the work!

I’m sending documents to New Zealand—by @USPS Priority Mail International. It’s taken 8 days just to get from Vermont to New York. And this is with PRIORITY—having paid $45! I hate to think how long it would take if not sent priority.

I’m needing recommendations for a CPA that’s efficient and easy to work with, does good work, and handles FBARs and foreign corporations. Any suggestions?

It’s somewhat interesting to see how BFCM (and the lead-up to it) impacts a B2B brand that doesn’t sell consumer products and doesn’t run sales. Presumably the people making the buying decisions in these mom-and-pop customer businesses are distracted by their personal shopping for the holidays.

Growth isn’t about adding more, it’s about removing obstacles. Strip away what’s not working. Simplify processes, simplify your messaging, simplify everything. That’s how you make room for what truly moves the needle.

It’s easy to feel behind this time of year. If you’re struggling to decide what to do next, focus on what’s simplest. Remove unnecessary complexity from your store, ads, or campaigns. Clear the path to make better decisions quickly.

Founders, as we move closer to the holiday rush, remember: every extra decision has a headspace cost. Simplify where you can—your products, your offers, your site navigation. Less clutter means more mental clarity and better results.

A number of people have told me brands won’t buy a @shopify.bsky.social project without a lengthy sales conversation due to the size of the transaction and the unknown unknowns. I’m trying to simplify the approach and make payment terms more accessible so it’s an easy decision. Challenge me.

As founders, it’s easy to let work consume our headspace—even when we appear to be disconnected.
For most of my career, I’ve taken pride in not working evenings and weekends but I realized many years ago that even if I’m not “working”, I’m not really totally disengaged in my head.

Hey, friends. I have a genuine question for all of you who run @Shopify or marketing agencies or app companies:
What might it take for you to consider referring to Lucid clients who are either not a good fit for your agency or can’t be “activated” by your team until their website has had a refresh?
