I'm bad and I'm back
It's been 2 months since I logged into skool.
Dang, I'm bad.
And boujee.
Everytime I typed "s" in my URL, it would autofill https://www.skool.com/synthesizers. And so I kept tabs as we went past 2K members. Y'all been spitting fire out here. Synthesizer Skool is easily a top 3 resource for creating purposefully.
While I was away from Skool -
  1. Caught up with my Synthesizer friends a bunch (dang there's so many incredible connections I've made here, sorry if I'm missing your name).
  1. Started a permission-less project for (DM'd you the link).
Andrew shared a crazy good idea about a self-guided library where people can find solutions (eg: resources, videos, products) for specific problem statements (eg: building a writing habit, endless idea generator, creating high CTR thumbnails, community building).
If you have suggestions, DM me.
  1. Put my long term goal (nawvel.com) in the backseat. I had to reprioritise. It'll still be up and running for free for y'all and 1,150 users who signed up (400 America, 400 India, 350 ROW)
  1. Signed a client to keep the cash flow going. He's awesome.
  1. That money pays for my team (hacker, hipster, hustler). I have a low burn - around 1.5-2K usd.
  1. Signed up for ship30for30. I like it a lot. After Synthesizer Skool and Ship30, I'm convinced that I want to create content. And that for the next few years, I will do just that. Atomically. Banking on slow growth. While still pursuing other short term opportunities.
  1. Started 2 projects in stealth mode.
FriendsBnB and Challengely - more on that later
  1. Decided to set up my base in my childhood home to be closer to my family.
Gave up my apartment in Bangalore. The rent + living expenses was a luxury I didn't want to afford.
Instead I put the money, around 12K usd, that I would have to spend in BLR (if I lived there another year) towards redoing my place.
It's been 8 years since I lived with my parents for more than 2 weeks. We'll see how it goes. I'm hopeful that it'll bring the fam closer.
I'll still travel for work and scuba diving.
I'm in Bangalore (Oct 1-9) and Philippines (Palawan sometime in Feb-Mar '23). DM me if you wanna hang.
But my base will be Delhi for the next 3 years.

That's it folks.
I'm back to skool.
Eager to join this ride with new and old faces.
