In the coffee business, we track "Tasting Notes"—the specific, distinct flavor profile of a roast. Numbers tell you how much you served, but tasting notes tell you how it felt to drink it.
To celebrate this milestone, I went back through the community logs to analyze the "Flavor Profile" of the culture you two have built.
I found that Focus Founders doesn't just taste like "productivity."
• It has notes of Resilience: Like @Alison St. Romain finding the strength to "not break and run away when things get hard."
• It has notes of Triumph: Like @Amber Kay crushing it as a single mom and finding "tears upon tears of gratitude."
• It has notes of Momentum: Like @Jorick Sikkes tracking the countdown down to the final 16 members.
Attached is a "Menu of Evidence" commemorating the first 1,000 members.
Thank you for building the shop. The beans are excellent.
