I knew there was happy ending and I still found this such a wild ride and oddly stressful.
I came in through the Paul Millerd newsletter and just saw the final product, so now I appreciate you and Dan even more and feel so lucky this did get off the ground
This was a profoundly enjoyable read, Will. I'm inspired by you and Dan's courage, persistence, and execution. You are putting your gifts to good use and truly making the Internet a better place for all.
So awesome that you are both sharing and documenting your process. It takes *presence* to be both building, and aware of building.
Awareness of the process makes it easier to move through (The ups and downs) and create meaning around...
It's never just about founding/starting a company, building a company, instead it's about moving through a growth journey, connecting with people, making a living, learning, and so much more...
THIS is a story that completely embodies what you’re building: holding true to a vision, building relationships, finding unexpected support, leading and being led by partners, savoring the win with self and colleagues — and fully experiencing every aspect of the joy and terror along the way.
Well done, both of you! So proud of what you’ve achieved, and all the good you are catalyzing in the world. 👏 🙌
Thanks for the kind words Terri! Not to mention your feedback and follow-up email after that first focus group, it gave us a boost when we needed it. Appreciate your support at every step
This particular form of story is always a gift to the rest of us who are in the process of building things. You can never get enough reminders that it's worth staying the course with your project. Sid's encouragement was so notable in your journey, it was an octave leap you needed to make and having creator friends like him to force you to antee-up instead of opt-out is critical.

Thanks for being there start to finish Jamie!

Trying to document it much better than last time...these lessons fade with time so I want to capture them in the moment
What a beautiful read! I teared up a little 🥹
Appreciate it Ergest means a lot!
Very much enjoyed reading this. Glad you stayed with the vision and did the cohort. Best of luck on continued success.
Appreciate it Matt 🙏

Yes it was, amen. That was a key moment. We were on a knife's edge at the time
Love it!!! Been wanting to hear and read this full story! Thanks for writing it
Thanks man. Can't wait to write something similar for the world tour..
Loved reading through this. Pumped for you and Dan!
