Why are some against “founder mode” or did I miss the obvious red flags? Genuinely want to know. I thought the general concepts were pretty spot on, especially during growth, which is pretty much always. Nothing is perfect ofc. But, is “manager mode” the right way?

An interesting observation — Almost everyone I speak to about blogstatic.io keeps telling me I should have an ICP and talk to them directly. And I did some research and found out who's paying for bstatic the most and changed the H1 to talk to this group of people

Whenever I am out with people who wear an Apple watch, every single minute they look at their watch. It makes me think they want to leave, just to realize that they’re looking at some notification.

Ouch 😬 Reading this tweet made me feel pain 🥲

In the spirit of #buildingpublic I need to share a conundrum, a difficulty. I am really struggling with knowing what the real value of blogstatic.io is 🤔 As in — what is something clients can get in blogstatic, they can’t get anywhere else? What is different about

Feeling good about where blogstatic is ✊ Sent out some 400 emails to paid clients with a single question, asking them about what they value most in bstatic. 40+ responded / about 10% 🙌🥳 Some great conversations! Filtering through the messages to try and find a pattern

Want to share this again — wrote it not long ago ✊ What is the waiting room: — When you're "working hard" and waiting for soon/one-day things to pan out What to do instead: — Knock on that door OR better yet, knock it down — Don't stay in the waiting room!!

this prompt gave me a pretty decent text-based adventure in gpt4o 👾 "can you make me a game story --- but use me to play it. you be the actual game and i have to guess and play it to the end. make it so i can lose." tweak per your liking ✌️

PSA 🚨 To all makers, bootstrappers, indies — please don't post fake stuff (as if it happened to you) as engagement bait or to get your following up — it ruins the community. Also, don't engage with something you remotely think is fake — because it brings that post above all

D'you know what's mind-blowing in B2B SaaS? —For every 1$ you add in MRR, that $1 is worth $48 in exit value, considering you exit at a conservative 4x ARR (1 × 12 × 4). And if you're adding $500 in MRR each month, you're adding $24,000 to your future self's bank account, once
