Hey. Are you ok? I've been thinking about you.

Where are people collecting(?) scrapbookin(?) cookbooking(?) their AI prompts?

Hey, just a quick note to let you know you deserve to be heard, and you deserve to be understood, and there are people in your life who like a shot at both if you'll give them a chance. And, yeah, that is scary. But you have brave in you.

I wish I could tell you ALL THE THINGS that I get to witness in my client's sessions. They inspire the shit out of me and do heroic work every week. Some day I am going to have some fully-double-opt-in stuff that you can see. (Hit me up if that's you.)

Have you ever been so afraid to fail, that you reach all the way back around the world and touch "who cares if I fail, let's try!" I would like to tell you I'm stepping *up* to "let's try" but that'd be fibbin

Good morning friends. Happy friday! In the _blockers_ section of my standup this morning I simply have, "I am unwilling to be blocked right now, so constantly moving forward with whatever we got, knowing it might be better later." And this feels like a whole mood. What you got?

Good luck to all the tech help going to their family's houses this week and being asked to fix phones, TVs, laptops, and Alexa.

1/ Outside VC firms that have made 2 or more investments into MN startups.

If you're a MN tech startup that will likely raise venture $ and most/all of your time is in Minnesota, you might find this relevant because getting intros to VCs is half the battle.

Why can’t I create a list from the add to list screen?

Alrighty so Andrew shared some details about how his waitlist didn’t respond well to his recent “launch.”

I have some analysis and recommendations. ✨

Sharing them in a new thread so they might help others who have (or will) make similar mistakes!

Let's get started:

Would love to hear other’s experience marketing pre-product.

We have a waiting list of about 150 and are a few weeks away from having the product ready for testing. I sent an email to the list asking people to schedule a call to be “founding users” and I got one response.

@srsholmes.com why don't you utilize "app passwords" and why are you asking me to login to bsky.social instead of bsky.app ?

@alexhillman.com what are using to “archive” content from that other place?
November 26, 2024 at 2:37 AM
Is there some way I haven’t found yet that will let me know if I’m on someone’s starter pack or list? I’m getting some follows that feel like they must be from *somewhere*.

If you don't know this about me, you should know that I am not afraid to ask for help. And I don't hesitate for one second to ask, because I know I will always do whatever I can to help anyone who asks me.
