November was a solid month. Nothing crazy flashy, but the kind of work that sets the stage for bigger things. I’m pretty hyped about what’s coming next.
Stats October
- Running: 99KM / 2760m+
Yikes. That’s less than October, and I didn’t even break 100k this month. Black Friday took over, but no excuses—December needs to be better. - Avg Wake Up: 03:31
- Avg Sleep: 5:56h
- Resting HR: 43
Still crushing the early wake-ups—didn’t miss a single day. Sleep and resting HR are improving, probably thanks to the cooler weather. And my Oura ring gave me a bunch of crowns this month (basically saying, "Not bad, not bad...").
Bold
This month was all about sharpening the product:
-
New Video Demo
Made a new demo for outbound efforts. It’s simple, not polished to death, and I don’t hate it, which is a win. Might throw it on the landing page, too.
(Pro tip: outbound emails with YouTube links perform better—better link expectations, less spammy vibes. Plus, embedding it here gets a few views, which makes it look more legit 💡) -
CI Setup
Not essential right now (still pre-PMF), but I added it anyway so I don’t forget to run tests. GitHub Actions for the win. -
Search in Bold Portal
Finally. This was overdue. -
Drag-and-Drop Uploads
Welcome to 2024. Took way too long, but hey, we’re here now. -
showthem.com updates
By the time you read this, Rob’s course is live—go check it out. I added Redis for detailed user progress tracking and made a bunch of tweaks. Smooth sailing overall, and I’m proud of what Rob accomplished with it. -
Finished the SaaS Academy Cohort
Wrapped up the cohort. Lots of groundwork done. Now it’s time to execute and make Dan Martell proud.
Pidro
-
Sent 120k+ emails
Sent 120k+ emails. Got only two angry replies (a record!) and landed ~100 new yearly subscriptions. Not bad. 😎 -
Released a client update, 2.4.10
Added "Restore Purchases" and a dynamic Paywall, so that we can run different prices via our CMS. Also, these were the first builds that I've cranked out and published myself. Yay! -
Pidro HQ Updates
Added more admin tools and automation to the backend. Everything is now faster and easier to manage.
Pidro ate most of my time this month, and while working in Unity is still slow, I’m glad I pushed through and got things done.
Things were, of course, bananas during Black Friday week at commercetools—but in a good way! Tons of fun tackling interesting challenges.
That’s it for November! During the monthly SaaS Academy momentum call, I set a goal for four Bold demos in December. Let’s see how it goes!
