For the last year+ I've been curating amazing WFH setups in a weekly newsletter called Workspaces. I'll start here: - 2020 M1 Mac Mini

- AirPod Pros
- Lots of books (Founders at Work, Disrupted, Creativity Inc, etc)
- Old MacBook Pro
- Logitech C920x HD Pro Webam I'm curious... what's in YOUR workspace!?
Failure presents great opportunities to learn and some might stick with you. Mine would likely be community first, failing to prioritise community building and nurturing caused my first project to dwindle
We all have learning experiences from building our projects. Some of that could be helpful to new makers in the community, what are some of your top tips?
Hey everyone! I'm Rosie Sherry and I love building communities. I started about 15 years ago with meetups, I then started Ministry of Testing and boostrapped that to $1.5M annual revenue over 10 years. I still (co)own, but don't run the business day to day. I led the community over at Indie Hackers for a couple of years. More recently I started Rosieland, a community for community builders. This has evolved over the past couple of years, from a newsletter, to a paid newsletter and now to a community with a 'community garden' approach. Rosieland is still my side-gig as I recently joined Orbit
Being a founder/builder is a lot of work and can take its toll on your health. What's your strategy for staying healthy? I'm a walker and can easily crank out 15+ miles a week, eat only plants and hit the gym 3-5x a week. What's yours?
