Updates on my plugin marketing and development; picking up a freelance job; sharing my 30th birthday with Ayn Rand on Groundhog Day while watching The Matrix; talking about how much I hated school when growing up; last decade vs next decade; books and music updates

Recap of the first week after plugins were approved; executing some marketing activities; talking to users and quickly iterating on product; making my very first sale!

My first 2 plugins are finally approved; solving tricky problems by taking a step back; karaoke in the afternoon; South Park, Japan, Dr. Dre and 007; shipping fast to bypass self-doubt; latest books I've read and albums I've listened to

Still in approval limbo; breaking down my daily routine; reflecting on my ultra-productive and fulfilling week; the "Rakim" autobiography book; some albums I've been listening to while working

My plugins were reviewed and not approved; refactoring and resubmitting my plugins; working 16 hours straight on Monday; GTD (Getting Things Done) with Notion; installing new Chrome extensions for productivity gains; only listening to music albums I haven't heard before

Recording on New Years Eve (Eve); Stuck in approval limbo; How I cut expenses to increase my runway; Sharing a selection of the 80 books that I read this year

Deploying my new site; submitting my first products; the final day at my agency (and agency life); reflecting back on a decade of working in agencies.

Migrating everything to Gumroad; why I missed my self-imposed submission deadline; 4 days of agency life left; reading the copy I wrote for my "about" page; touching on the propaganda of "rapid technological progress"; is doing everything myself too much?

Why I'm happy that I released "The Diversity Distraction" episode; hearing about design teams in the big tech companies and giving "The Mom Test" at the meetup Xmas Party; my new doppelgänger from California who also just quit his job to do something similar; why I'm not adopting the free or freemium model for my products; why I stopped building my own subscription infrastructure; 8 working days until I leave agency life behind.

Updates on my progress with product development and redesigning everything due to licensing issues; reviewing the new Australian legislation to make gender equity targets mandatory in the public sector; why bootcamps probably aren't the right answer; how people's expectations for what to expect in our industry has become skewed; my experience with trying to hire great people; why diversity and inclusion is not an honest agenda; the danger of groupthink and self-censorship; why the diversity project is distracting us from the underlying stagnation, zero innovation and abysmal economic growth in Australia.
