Hey folks,
No founder's tale this week – it's Turkey Day! And I'm carving out a moment to extend a big thank you to each and every one of you.
Thank you for subscribing, engaging, and sending cool founder stories my way. Couldn't have done this without you.
And to the founders we've chatted with – Yifan, Matt, Madison, Mitya, Max, Namya, Aaron – you've shared your journeys, from humble starts to hitting it big, serving up real inspo for us all.
If you've been pondering an idea or dreaming of a venture of your own, let these founder stories be your launchpad.
Here's a quick roll call of the amazing folks we've had:
- Yifan, who turned a simple idea into a profitable one-page website
- Matt, whose resilience carved the path for Tidalwave
- Madison, who leaped from a 9-5 to financial freedom
- Mitya, from Upwork freelancer to helming a multi-million-dollar agency
- Max, who unlocked the potential of Notion analytics
- Namya, balancing a 4-hour workday while running a cutting-edge design agency
- Aaron, spinning his Retool savvy into a vital service for startups
Each one of them, a story of grinding, winning, and sometimes, just winging it. Real people, building their empires one day at a time.
So, as you nibble on leftovers this weekend, maybe flip through these stories. Who knows? It might just be the nudge you need to kickstart your own venture.
Next week, we're back with more founder stories. But for now, enjoy the turkey, relish the downtime, and let's be thankful for the journey – it’s what makes it all worth it.
Happy Thanksgiving, folks! Stay hungry, stay foolish.
Catch you next week,
