Description
Do you lack energy or motivation at work? Ben tried a new service called, Work Gym from Ultraworking. He found it worthwhile and got a lot of work done on Tuple that he had been putting off for quite awhile. Tuple is about to reach a major milestone - recent PR deployments mean no more global list of online users.
Derrick has also been addressing how to set up companies, teams, and individual users interested in trying Level. So, he hasn’t intentionally built any billing model into the backend of Level, yet
Today’s Topics Include:
Prioritizing tasks and trying to be comfortable with the lack of knowing everything
Ben and Derrick find value in sales and onboarding calls, although the take up time
Doesn’t matter if something isn’t right, right now; keep experimenting, learning, and testing to figure out what works
People are willing to pre-pay to be placed on the newly created Tuple trials wait list
Tuple Status: Stability is going up, bugs are being fixed, and crashing occurs less often
Tuple plans to deploy a fix where users don’t have to enter a keychain password every time to update the app and support for them to choose which display they want to share
Results from Superhuman Product Market Fit Survey sent to Tuple users
Ben’s Bad Idea: He decided not to do Habits for Hackers due to lack of pricing and bids
Derrick continues to do onboarding calls with Level users and reach out to those who were invited and pre-paid, but have not scheduled a demo
Derrick shipped an integration for users to post a message to an endpoint that will be directly posted to a channel or another person in Level to centralize relevant notifications

2: From Good to Great: Welcome to the Art of Product podcast. Derrick is rocking his “I ♥ yoga” shirt because he started practicing yoga at a studio down the street. He also gives us an update on new changes and features at Drip. Derrick was inspired by Ben’s newsletter and decided to work on his own newsletter, which gave him a great opportunity to use his own product. Ben is discovering that unemployment is a roller coaster. His stress level has been about 5X his normal baseline stress level. He started working at the co-working space and attending mixer events. He is emailing people on his list and sharing his ideas to get feedback for possible products for him to work on. Ben has been reflecting on how people and relationships make him shine and is considering finding a co-founder for his product. by The Art of Product
