Over the years I have refurbed some furniture which is a fun hobby in addition to being environmentally helpful.

I think it’s also worthwhile to pay for higher quality items that are made well and last. A nice pair of leather boots can get repaired for minimal cost and mine have lasted over a decade of very hard wear.

There are more tools to understand data and squeeze every penny from customers.

It's admirable when a company isn't trying to bleed customers dry.

Step 2: Become dictator/king

Step 3: ???

Step 4: Profit

I honestly think it's one of the best I've seen for any software. It showcases the functionality, displays the actual UI, doesn't rely on narration, is visually interesting, and succinct.

Was it made internally or with an agency?

It's easy to be proactive when there is an immediate thing that needs to get done (ie: prepare tax information for filing), but filling the downtime with something productive can sometimes be a little difficult. Usually that's filled doing cold-call sales for me because growth is always a priority. I'm wondering how you keep your mind, activities, and business goals fresh.

TLDR: Creating work for yourself can be hard. What do you do when your immediate work obligations are completed?

In Europe it is very common to see menus with iconography for fish, plants, grains, and cheese to quickly identify diet friendly items. To me, as a meat eater with a pescatarian girlfriend, it makes the menu seem much more friendly and inclusive. And from my anecdotal experience as a US citizen in Los Angeles who spends a lot of time in Europe, they are much more vegetarian friendly over there.

Maybe removing labels isn't the answer, maybe adding more is.

How many people would both directly from impact/shockwave and indirectly die (infrastructure collapse, tsunamis on beach towns, climate change, etc) from this, do we think?

It's something I've personally seen and have read about so many times. Some make it through this stage but it's extremely difficult because it requires a very different set of skills and experiences. It becomes less about grinding, which in theory is very simple to explain and encourage.

- Most of the furniture and art [1] that I've made. I'm a very analytical person and physical creative outlets where I just create things that "feel good" really help me unwind... Even if those projects are pretty difficult for my often times rudimentary skills. There's a small gallery on my personal website.

- My own company [2] that makes titanium hand-blown glassware for whisky and spirits. They're made in Europe, so I don't personally craft them, but the glasses are my design and I learned how to 3D print prototypes - so "made" might vary based on your definition. Tangible things are just really cool and grounding.

The most difficult thing is finding the balance and compromise in pricing because some customers will happily pay double the cost, but many won't.

My product is very expensive to make and my margins are not great, but this price gets me the most market saturation in a very important growth stage (business is only 2 years old) while still keeping the business profitable

If anyone is a Coogan fan, I highly recommend seeking out The Trip. And not the terrible movie version, but the actual full series. Season 1 is such a brilliant piece of television.
