you want accountability?

Hey Friend,

A few dropped in to say the last email went to the ungoldy folder.

We do not speak of the ungodly folder. Because the ungoldy email gods do not like that place.

And neither do we.

So, I'll try again in a more "politically correct way" and go about this.

I've been thinking about personal trainers a lot.

People who go to the gym can 100% lift weights or exercise.

But they unlock a monster within them, and max their potential when they have someone going at them.

AKA:

Yelling

Course correcting

Holding them accountable

And people pay a monthly membership to keep getting yelled at.

Weird creatures these humans, aren't they?

I tried it too..

I'm much more of a runner.

I've recently clocked over 900kms. And I've started outdoor HIIT training. Because I couldn't for the life of me have some dude yell at me for a monthly subscription as I watch other people curl up dumbbells for 2 hours each session.

But...Imagine you go to the gym.

It did make me think of an idea though.

Because at the core, people want to be held accountable.

If I had a "virtual gym", but made it better...

Think of an Island where you're held accountable to ship offers, products and startups.

And you get to co-live with other makers on the same island.

You pay the price of admission once. And the only rule is you've got to keep shipping.

Otherwise, you get booted off the island in 45 days. But if you keep shipping? You pretty much have lifetime access.

Check this 1 minute video I did here (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaiN84UocEQ/)

So if you like building cool stuff, being yelled at, and want accountability...

Maybe you want to hang out on The Island.
