My flight is delayed 2.5 hours so AMA while I wait to take off! 

@tinyrainboot gave me a great piece of feedback during FarCon, which was she knows a lot about candles but not enough about me. So here’s your opportunity to ask about me!

🕯️They/them. Scaled cos from 0-$300k in arr, 7-35 employees, 0-100k users. Now I make candles that give people love, joy, and delight at humankind.place

What's something you wish more people knew about you?

You truly are a crazy candle person 🥹 I wish more people took their craft and passion as seriously as you do, myself included!

Your work ethic and vision are admirable. As well as — pun intended — lit.

Had to think about this a bit, but I care a lot about what I do. I’m certain I care more about candles than the majority of candlemakers. 

This permeates deep into my work: really long hours, no weekends/holidays off, and I care a lot about winning. It’s not about the dollar amount but rather a reflection of how far I can push myself. People probably know I work a lot of hours but I don’t think they understand my intrinsic motivation for why. 

Life to me is about pushing myself to my limits. How smart I can be, how fulfilled I can be, how hard can I work, how many risks can I take, how much money can I make. All the whys and hows to push myself beyond my limit and to show me myself and I that I am capable of doing exactly what I set out to do. 

Thanks for the great question!
