Hey friend!
I shared this with my team and the alpha-tester community and I thought Iād share these things with you, especially because I know that we ALL need this perspective and these types of reminders.
Hereās what I sharedā¦
I want to start my day with gratitude:
1. Grateful for long-time friends like James! I feel no different chatting with you semi-naked while working out at 38 years old⦠as I did when I first met you when I was 25 years old and sitting on a couch in Alpharetta, Georgia!
I canāt believe itās been that many years!
2. Iām grateful for a product that has real, personal meaning to me and a team to help me bring it to life! Iām so grateful for Aga, Fred, Michele, and the many other folks who helped along the way.
Itās been a long journey and itās really only just begun!
3. Iām grateful for my wife and family who are healthy and who keep me on the straight and narrow! My wife, especially, reminds me to take the time that I need to stay healthy and woke.
Sheās been my rock throughout my entire career and I wouldnāt be here without her.
4. Iām grateful for our industry ā the larger community-data space ā and also all of the changes in our post-covid-19 world. I believe that we have a chance at redeeming that year with a great product that helps more people build stronger, better, and more useful and meaningful relationships / communities!
I think thatās a worthwhile mission and goal.
5. Finally, Iām super-grateful for clarity of mind⦠b/c itās not always been like this. The first few years of the startup were working through a cloud of insanity, anxiety, grief, anger, confusion⦠and everything in-between. Sure, thereās much more to come but the foundational āconfusionā is mostly out of the way now.
Iām grateful for clarity of thought, mind, and direction.
Love you all; to infinity & community,
ā john
