I am taking my time again to reflect on my journey as a software developer building a lifestyle business by productizing myself. All of this is happening directly at www.fwt.wtf. It was only yesterday that I intentionally decided to break my video streak for the 2nd time during this last 10-week cycle that I am reflecting on today. Let's dive into how my mindset has evolved since my last reflection.
I was honored that I got a chance of spending 5 days besides Yan Zoritchak during my vacation that is still going on. During my stay in Annecy, I was eager to learn everything I could from the world renowned master of glass art. I was just a little boy when I visited Yan in France together with my family for the first time. At that time, I couldn't have known how much interest his work and life would spark in me later on in my life.
I am taking my time to write this reflection down while enjoying my time in Talloires (France) together with mademoiselle M. & master artist Yan Zoritchak. It has been nearly 3 weeks since I started cooling down after 8 months of building for free with tech. How does this journey feel now, after recording 30 single take videos in 30 weeks? This is a regular reflection that I do every 10 weeks (and hopefully 10 videos too), so let's dive into it.
This should've been a Reddit post in forums like r/digitalminimalism, r/journaling, r/digitaljournaling and r/applewatch as part of my app marketing efforts. Instead, I turned it into a blog post because it got banned everywhere. This is a launch day of my 2 Apple Watch apps and I couldn't be happier!
