Now, I don't need to rely on solely being the content driver of my website.

Over time, this will ultimately prove to be habit forming as folks come to the web page to view a curated selection of news on a daily basis.

The next thing I want to do is advertise this functionality of the site.

I've been trying to push my web page into being something more than a personal portfolio page; so it's like a tool people might revisit more than once a week.

I haven't built an e-mail capture tool yet...I'm planning on using KIT for that.

Eager to hear some notes on how all of this could be improved.

I actually got inspired by an abandoned news concept that a celebrity once ran, that had a minimalist functionality and a rhythm of 2 or 3 daily drops.

Honestly, I could adjust my own site to have 2 daily drops as well. One in the morning, and then one in the afternoon.

This could be a relatively easy change as well... but eager to hear some other thoughts here.

I haven't used ChatGPT in over a month. I bounce between Grok, Gemini & Claude. Is ChatGPT even worth it.

Grok can do things the other two can't, like read and fetch websites sometimes where Claude and Gemini cannot.

Gemini is just someone to feed javascript to when you want to save on Claude tokens.

A portfolio gets opened once, usually the night before a consultant's meeting, and then it sits there.

So add a reason to come back.

Like maybe...your consultant portfolio sits aside a curated calendar of gallery openings, concerts, screenings and mixers you plan to attend around your city.

Now...this changes every week, and when folks check it, your consulting content lives a swipe away.

This carousel walks through the build: the layout borrowed from the Microsoft Zune, the problem and solution.

I’ve greatly appreciated the candid feedback from this forum. Recently, I shared my personal webpage for review, and the suggestions I received immediately improved the outreach and responses for my work.

(The best stinging reaction: Your website comes across like you're self-absorbed and don't want feedback. This hit a nerve with me because I'm constantly trying to balance the act of doing it yourself and not waiting for anyone to save you, and, collaborate more with others and don't hog the ball like Jordan did in his early years. -- Not that I'm comparing myself to Michael Jordan, but sports metaphors. I'm told they're useful in communication. Tangent. -- But this has encouraged me to try and change my whole approach of presenting myself. Because it's truly not my intention, and I've found that this increased mindfulness has made not just a better entrepreneur, but also maybe a better person. I'm trying...I'm only thirty. Being a person has been a humbling experience. But I like it! lol)

Now, I have a new question: I’ve been encouraged to start writing about my company’s journey. I work in the film industry, where development is a lengthy process.

The goal of these blog posts is to clarify my own thought process and highlight our unique approach to film development, which differs from others in the industry. Additionally, I aim to reassure investors about how their funds are being utilized.

I was going to host the blog on my personal website, away from the official company page.

I've also wondered if I should just confine these blog posts/memos to the password protected Investor Portal I've created for investors. The portal is regularly updated with the projects we're working on, and the projects we want to work on next.

Looking for some thoughts about navigating all of this.

I know it's a mixture of preference and practical application.

My sister likes writing on Substack, where folks pay for genre of memoir. I'm not sure if that's what I'm necessarily trying to do. But I've been tempted to explore Ghost as a platform...

I understand the power of blogging and newsletter because...well...I read Hacker News everyday myself, and have been for nearly a decade, maybe? -- But I'm a new founder so I'm here to take all the feedback.

Thanks everyone, Daniel.
