Tears, cheers, and a whole lot of gratitude
The past year has been nothing short of a rollercoaster, and it feels right to take a moment to reflect on it - doing what I preach, and all that.
First things first: thank you.
To those of you who’ve been testing Outset from the very beginning, thank you for helping shape what is now a working product that delivers real value. Your feedback, patience, and trust mean the world to us.
To our friends and supporters who’ve been cheering us on, offering a hand whenever possible, I’ve shed more than a few grateful tears because of you. You know who you are.
And finally, to our incredible team - your dedication, expertise, and patience are unmatched. None of this would’ve been possible without you.
The Lessons Learned:
Perfection is the enemy of progress. I’ve had to let go of so many ideas of what I thought running a business should look like and learn at the speed of light. Things never went as planned, but that doesn’t really matter - what matters is to keep pushing forward. Sometimes "good enough" is all you need.
You need a network. Having a group of people to lean on who are going through similar challenges made all the difference. This applies to anything in life, not just business. Surrounding yourself with people who get it helps normalize what you’re going through - and keeps you sane.
Don’t forget to breathe. More often than not, I ran around like a headless chicken - even when it wasn’t necessary (and even if Nick kept trying to keep me grounded). If there’s one thing I wish I did better, it’s planning properly and knowing when to step back for a breather.
But you know what?
We did it.
And today, we celebrate.
