Also had time to think about this: Built fast. That part worked.
Now the harder part:
- how to market it
- who itās really for
- whether weāre just the power users ourselves
Feels like the real work starts here.
#BuildInPublicā
Deliberately went to work today without my laptop.
Surprisingly productive. More conversations, long-overdue tasks, less screen gravity.
A different kind of useful day. #DeepWork #FocusMode #WorkHabits
We didnāt build Wunder.quest to test AI.
We built it to test clarity.
Constraint:
If a child doesnāt understand it ā itās broken.
That single rule shaped the whole product. #ProductDesign
Enjoying some time off and experimenting with agentic codingā¦
Built fast, exploring whatās possible. Curious where this goes.

Havenāt posted in a while. Stepping away from social media helps me focusābut I still check in now and then, thanks to that little voice called FOMO. Still here, just quieter these days. #DigitalBalance #FounderLife
Over Christmas, stepping away from social media was the best decision. š Taking a real break helped me reconnect,recharge, & refocus. The best way to engage is to unplug. #SocialMediaDetox

One i found in my kindle library: āRadical Candorā by Kim Scottāread it a long time ago, but maybe itās time for a reread? #BookRecommendations #RadicalCandor
Hereās a tough realization about being a CEO: To be a good one, you often need to be confrontational. Thatās not naturally my style, and itās led to outcomes that could have been better. Does anyone have book recommendations or advice on improving this?
I enjoyed being on The Startup CEO Show to chat building @buffer.com.
Topics we covered: transparency as a core value, taking a long-term view, buying out investors, navigating a co-founder breakup, working through revenue decline back to growth, fatherhood.

One thing Iāve learned the hard way: Company politics poison culture. Thatās why āve adopted two non-negotiable rules: 1ļøā£ Talk about people as if they were present.
2ļøā£ Shut down any conversation that breaks Rule #1.
No exceptions. #Leadership #CompanyCulture #sundayreflection
