This was a great listen - a very personal / transparent look into the rise and decline of the Tailwind template business. There are a lot of similarities with what I've gone through in the last year with Pegasus. The two things that resonated the most: 1. How frustrating it is to not be able to figure out *why revenue is changing*. Is it market saturation? Open source? AI? And so on. It's such a weird and frustrating feeling to see your income changing and have no idea why or how to address it. Not something you mind while the number keeps going up, but very difficult when it goes flat or down. 2. Having your self-worth tied up in your success in a way that a number going down makes you feel like crap *even when everything in your life is still going great*. Like Adam, on absolute terms everything in my life is beyond what I want or need—financially and otherwise. But it still hurts more than it should to see something I've invested so much into on the decline. Anyway, mostly just appreciated the share. Kudos to @adamwathan for talking about this when most would just stay silent.
