FROM THE EDITOR
I love working on a project in stealth mode. There’s something about knowing something that no one else knows is going on. There’s energy there. I love the anticipation of the reveal. The freedom to create in private without judgement.
When I first launched irl Media NEWS a little over a year ago I didn’t attach my name to it. It was too new. I was too green as a writer. In my day job I advise startups to launch them MVP when they are still a little embarrassed of it; blemishes and all. It’s a learning experience. If you wait until a product is perfect you’ll never launch.
Too many people fail to iterate their product. I like to fail fast, or in my case fail repeatedly until one day you’re successful.
That’s the funny thing about people we view as successful. Rarely are they successful from the very start. You can take a look at any number of billionaires, and there are countless ideas they had that didn’t work out until one did.
So where am I going with all this?
I’m working on a secret project that’ll will launch in early 2025, and this week we produced the first “thing”, and I couldn’t be more excited about how it’s turned out. Now it’s time to rinse-and-repeat, and get producing.
Cheers to my big reveal in 2025!
