Everyone is an _____
Daniel posed a great question here - lots of brands push this message that everyone can do the activity they sell products for.
It's a great way to encourage people to buy your products but making it seem accessible to everyone.

$1k MRR for Fern Desk
Congrats to Wilson for reaching $1k MRR with his help desk app. He left Senja recently so it's cool to see him reach this milestone after only 3 months:
Finally hit $1K MRR for @ferndeskhq 🥳

It took:
- 3 months since launch
- shipping every day
- talking to customers weekly
- multiple iterations on product
- lots of concierge support
to get there... Here's how I'm going to get to $2k ↓ pic.twitter.com/DVGEtn1AEG

I'm doing TikTok again
I'm climbing cringe mountain and giving TikTok another go. I'm posting something every day for 30 days. I was locked out of my old account because TikTok removed the sign-in with X option so go here:
At the moment it's just talking head videos but I'll work on polishing things up. And I'll start posting these to YouTube as well.
