Fall has come, and that's awesome. I feel my calendar blew up overnight. I'll also discuss content production once again.

Peer support is important. I might have forgot that on my solopreneur journey. In addition for that I ramble about streaming.

I recorded an episode before the Webflow live stream. I'm just wondering if I'm ready to invite the first guest to my podcast.

I had some thoughts about clarity and specialization. This episode was just a run through of old thoughts. Maybe summer brings me some new stuff to think.

Yeah! It finally feels like summer in here! Everyone is happier and more energized.

In this episode, I ponder why making videos is hard. As in many cases, the theory is simple, but execution is hard.

In this episode, I ponder buffers for work. I was recently sick, and that's why leeways came to my mind.

I had to work on a Saturday. It's not ideal, but sometimes Saturdays are the best workdays. I'm also going for a teaching gig, so that's exciting. I'm unsure if teaching should be my main focus, but I'll have a go.

I had to fire my first employee. This sucks.
