a great project changes you. the failures, iterations, slow climb. then it radiates outward
mine started as a side project to get through the bar exam. I was studying law, alone, drowning, after blood cancer that had destroyed my ability to focus
so I built a system on Notion and Discord to keep myself locked in: track the work, stay accountable, make the grind visible with other people. gamifying the work
then I let a few people in. then a few hundred. then thousands
they were studying, building, working together, watched, held accountable.
it grew. 100k in revenue with no marketing, no team, built solo while I was still an intern at one of the best law firms on the planet. I was working day and night, seven days a week
and at some point the thing I built on the side was more alive than the career I’d bled for
