First Draft Club

Admitting failure publicly:

The second cohort of /firstdraft has been a big disappointment

I don’t blame the participants – I didn’t invest in the experience as much as I should’ve (possibly because I was a member of the first cohort myself)

The second cohort was launched somewhat prematurely (while the first was still happening). At the time I thought I was building on momentum,  but looking back I believe I failed to set the tone / expectations to ensure a strong start

Been taking some time to think about how to make v3 a fun and successful experience for everyone :)

Thank you for your honesty. It takes a lot of courage to admit when things haven't gone as planned. I appreciate your reflection on the launch of the second cohort and your determination to make the third one a success. I'm sure with your commitment and experience from the first cohort, v3 will be a great experience for everyone involved. Good luck!
