Bonus chat: Building a profitable company, one support request at a time
I chatted with Gavin Zuchlinksi, founder of Acuity Scheduling, about growing a software product he built for his Mom's business, to a profitable company that employs 15 people. Gavin and I talk about where Acuity Scheduling got started, when he knew it was time to leave his 9-5 job to work on it...

Day 10-12 - When life sh*ts on your face
Talk about dealing with some distractions! I thought Day 8 was a tough one, but Day 10 really tested me. Waking up to loud construction, a migraine headache, and an overall lack of energy, it was a tough writing day. I took Day 11 off to recharge my batteries and take care of my mind and body.…

Day 8 & 9 - Blame the cinnamon rolls!
As it turns out I am human and I do, in fact, need breaks. I knew Day 8 was going to be challenging, and I 100% blame the cinnamon rolls. I had to sacrifice something to keep my sanity (and energy) at the end of the day. Listen to me talk about making that decision and that I'm closing in on…

In this episode, I try to unpack my thoughts about my allergy to resistance. I also recap Day...

Day 6 - Uh oh, things went wrong
Yep, it happened. The first technical glitch of WatchMeWrite. It was bound to happen. Today I (temporarily) lost nearly 4,000 words of writing after someone hacked the live editor I write in. Luckily we have redundant backups and my developer Zack was able to recover the temporarily lost words....

Day 5 - What does my editor think?
Today's episode features a discussion with my book editor Lizzie Vance. Lizzie helped with my first book, Creativity For Sale, and gives her thoughts and feedback compared to my writing from 3 years ago. We also talk about the over-saturation of storytelling and my weird metaphors. Enjoy this…

Day 4 - 23,377 words written in just four days
23,377 words in four days? Not too shabby! I'm averaging just under 6,000 words per day and have no clue if that will continue or not. For now, it's a great start and I know I'll be throwing a ton of those words away in the revision process. In this episode I answered a question from WatchMeWrite...
