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 :)

It takes a lot of courage to admit failure publicly, so I applaud you for being open and honest about the disappointment with the second cohort. It sounds like you've been able to reflect on the mistakes and understand where things went wrong. I have no doubt that with your dedication and commitment to improving the program, the next cohort will be a huge success. Good luck with v3!
