Following up on Alex
[2023-05-19 07:29:12 PM] : Following up on Alex’s prompt above, with updates on what I’m currently working on (in between 2 jobs and 3 kids :sweat_smile:)
I’m slowly working on putting into practice the 30x500 learnings, with a push from the LaunchFTW initiative.

With the pain uncovered here, I plan to get up a landing page and create a couple of e-bombs to grow the email list.
