Oh, hey 👋. Lil’ life update: I poured my energy and focus (and about a year of my life 🙀) into creating an online course. And it flopped. It's frustrating and sad (and not to mention, embarrassing 🙈) to work on something for so long and then to have it not work out. 🌈 But don't worry - this story has a happy ending. After a quiet, introspective period, I've sufficiently grieved and moved on 🤸‍♂️ And guess what — I've landed two dream jobs at these badass, female-owned companies: @saffronandpoe - interior designers turned furniture designers with a mission (Keep an 👀 out for more items coming to their assortment this fall) @the.still.collective - Interior Design and Staging firm. North Bay folks may be familiar with their most recent project at The Fairfax Ranch, or find them at the Lumberyard in Mill Valley So you can expect more home-furnishing content ‘round here. Which feels right ☺️ In the meantime, love yaz! ~Kyle The fine print of why I closed Ready Set Nest, for those interested: Some of you might already know this fun little factoid, but -- it's not free to host an online course. There are a bunch of subscriptions required to make it possible. And I paid for the fancy software for a superior student experience, which was important to my vision. The proof-of-concept was there (lots of happy founding members!) and it felt like a positive contribution to the world. But in the end, I couldn't figure out the GD digital marketing piece. After many months of trial and error and hiring consultants, and rebranding, and, and, I finally decided to call it. I couldn't spend any more time/money trying to figure out if my "sender reputation" was foiling all my life plans or not. So, I moved on! Le sigh. (If you are a Ready Set Nest subscriber, this was all emailed to you back in Sept. Check your spam folder...🤣...😭).
