Today in Seattle. “The Light is Back”.
Ups and downs are rough as a founder.
Two dumb mental hacks that help…
-
Be the person the AI thinks you are. I replaced all my avatars with an idealized version of myself created by ai.
-
Add the photos widget to your Home Screen and browse them instead of Facebook.
No lies detected.
If you rely on Facebook alone to tell you how great your Facebook ads are doing, then you are going to be very sad in the long run. They have a long history of reporting crap, and it's gotten worse as they try an compensate for the Apple privacy changes.

Ok - Briefly broke part of production for the first time in 2023. Let's try that release again before anyone notices...

And it worked this time! Just shipped a totally new customer onboarding UI and dashboards customized for each type of campaign our customers want to run at KickoffLabs
Photobombing ground squirrel says good morning. What are you working on today?
Is loom still what everyone is using for longer instructional videos meant for sending out to teams and contractors?

Really enjoying “Buy Back Your Time” from Dan Martel.
It forced me to rethink hiring. I’d always believed in the concept of a buy back rate, but never thought about flipping from: hire to grow your business to hire to buy back your own time.
Hyper-focused on simplification this week. For example: Less text for people to fill/worry about in the KickoffLabs contest box.
Customers have a goal and it's not to fill out more forms that aren't really necessary.
I’m seeing strong negative reaction to ChatGPT charging $49 a month… by people that make way more than enough to pay it.
If it saves you a few hours every month and helps you brainstorm then $49 is cheap.
Highlights how little people value their time.

Want to create themed color palettes quickly? Pick a theme and starting color for your palette and prompt ChatGTP: "Create a color palate based on this color for plant lovers. rgb(24, 159, 156)"
The results are good. Not pro-designer good. But good enough to get started.
We do a lot of work to prevent fraudulent/spammy/illegal campaigns from getting created at KickoffLabs... but I think this one guy broke the record for spam score on a single page trying to promote an escort service.
Lake WA is super calm today.
