    No big update from me today, but I'm happy to dip in and say hi to folks.

    Just spinning up on the new contract stuff and winding down at the day job. One more week left, just to finish this sprint, then I'm free and clear to work on SaaS stuff all the time.

    Happy Friday all, lets make it a productive one.

    Other Notes
    I'm off to the races with two customer conversations setup - super happy about that. I'm still far off from 10, but I had a feeling it was a bit ambitious to aim for that goal with only half of June to work with and no prior work done.

    The big piece of work on my plate this weekend is to rethink my content strategy. I was browsing my measly two blog posts and reading through them just made me sad. I felt like the content was missing the mark and looked rushed / low quality. I also felt the way I positioned the blog excluded other topics I'd like to write about (i.e. my indie hacking journey).

    I'm going to have to rethink this. I do want to commit to doing blog posts on a regular candence (2 - 3 times a week?). But, I also want to make sure the content is quality and not just something I shipped for the sake of shipping.
