IโM LAUNCHING A BRAND TODAY FOR MY 35th!!!
Protein couscous called Boostcous ๐จโ๐ณ
Two years ago I made a promise to myself:
Launch my own brand by 35.
Today I kept that promise.
What the last 2 years looked like:
> Started in my kitchen making small batches on nights and weekends.
> Ran Kno full-time while testing recipes every night
> Found a co-manufacturer to partner with on production
Two years of nights and weekends to get here
And this experience has been humbling AF.
I've spent 10 years advising DTC brands.
Now I finally get to walk the talk.
I'm using Kno to track everything.
Customer attribution, persona building, creative angles.
And I'm building this completely in public.
Real lessons, what works and what doesn't.
Kno is still my top priority and we've got some exciting releases coming soon.
But now I get to build Boostcous alongside the DTC community (love yall)
If you want to grab a box: Boostcous dot com
And if you're building something, drop it below. Let's do this together.
Here's to keeping promises ๐

The advantage isn't editing anymore. Its the story.

I've only been posting big wins here lately.
But that's not the reality of running a business.

The reality is that every day is a rollercoaster.
And a lot of days are ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐บ๐ป ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ.

> Having to let go of people
> Inventory issues
> Getting "no's" from investors and retailers
> Not getting 8 hours of sleep because I have a big Boostcous idea keeping me up
โ
The list goes on...

So here are a few non-negotiable agreements I've made with myself:
โ
> Work out 2 days a week
> Take one day a week completely offline (usually Saturday)
> Listen to at least 1 non-business podcast a week
> Spend 3 days doing some activity outside (mountain biking, skiing, tennis, etc.)
โ
Don't get me wrong, building Boostcous is the best thing I've ever done.
It's given me purpose and drive like I've never had before.
โ
But it's also important to share the dark side of entrepreneurship.

Anyone else in the same boat?
go get your boost
