I absolutely loved this newsletter - refreshing, fun, and most of all it feels real. You feel like real people doing the daily struggle and excitement of running a business and existing as creatives! Very cool and I can't wait to see what's coming & hearing about how those agenda's work out.
(I am a writer & entrepreneur myself and I like to always add one important must do and one fun to do on my agenda because it makes the not-so-fun to do's more bearable) :)
Yay! Thank you. Yeah, we've been pretty amazed (coming at it from the side of working to build something) that so many companies sound the same and are boring af. We're like...are we making some huge error or something by just being open about things & having fun with it? But we don't think so. Maybe we're just not the types who'd usually fall into the position to make a company? We'll see but no matter what, this shit takes so much time, we are not going to spend it trying to sound like super serious geniuses—I think that era of pretending to be amazing instead of just doing your best and being open, is coming to an end. Haha, well it is, or we are. But I'm (literally) putting our money on us.
Haha 100% it has been the foundation of how we work internally. I have so many friends who dread the hyper seriousness in their work cultures (and have myself for many years). Karina and I have always thought, “hell, if we’re going to give this our all, our all better be having a good time while doing it. Otherwise, what’s the point?” And we’ve been so lucky to attract others who feel the same.
