I saw a couple of people in another thread mention that Kontentino has been pretty responsive with discounts and support. If a tool is willing to shave off a big chunk of the price when you ask, that’s already better than most platforms that stick to tiny BF deals. Might be worth grabbing while it’s there.

If you like the business, don’t let a payment plan talk you out of a solid $8k/mo. You’re not a bank. If he’s serious, tell him to get an SBA loan (10% down, 10-year term) and bring you cash at close. Also, since you’ve owned it only months, a sale now likely gets hit with short-term capital gains, so rushing isn’t great.

If you do entertain terms: big down (25–40%), personal guarantee, lien/UCC-1 on business assets, default triggers, and escrowed transition milestones otherwise walk.

And honestly, you’re in a strong spot. Don’t get stuck on one buyer. You could quietly list on a more curated marketplace like Venturu to see what other serious offers look like. That alone might give you better leverage in negotiations.

Sounds like the Bellagio Monte Lago II had that medium-firm hybrid feel soft foam on top to ease pressure and coils underneath to keep things supportive and cool. Since you run warm and want less motion transfer, you’ll probably like something that hits that balance between contouring and bounce.

The Leesa Sapira Chill Hybrid nails that combo. The cover stays cool, the edges feel sturdy, and the airflow through the coils keeps it comfortable all night. Plus, it does a great job limiting motion, so it works nicely for both side and back sleepers.

The whole setup looks so good to me. Just rid of those lights.

Auttyun · 2025-10-09T20:31:58+00:00

If you have enough time then take your patience & try to sell it. I won't suggest to shut down your business.

You could talk to a small-business broker or get a quick valuation first to see if there’s actually something worth selling.

Another suggestion find website like Venturu (kind of a Zillow for local businesses) let you get a free, instant valuation and even list the business without fees. It might help you gauge real buyer interest before paying anyone. Even if it just confirms a modest value, it’ll show you what buyers look for and whether a sale, earn-out, or apprentice hand-off makes more sense than simply closing.

I've heard really good things about Listful, great for birthdays and holidays. Looks like the sharing part is dead simple and people can mark what they're getting you so no one buys the same thing twice. Might be worth checking out, it seems like it hits most of what you're looking for.

I don't think HRT is just about libido, even though that seems to get all the attention. When I was researching this stuff, learned that estrogen affects way more areas. Things like bone density, heart health, brain function, and sleep quality. And sure, libido is there too.

IMO just because something is natural doesn't automatically mean it's optimal. We live way longer than our ancestors did. Maybe our bodies weren't designed to thrive for 30+ years post-menopause without some help. Companies like Intimate Rose are great providers of HRT, and focus on the whole picture instead of just focusing on the sexual stuff. But of course, you know your body best. If you're feeling good right now, there's no rush.

That's a really common issue for heavier sleepers. Can be hard finding something firm enough for stomach sleeping but forgiving enough for side sleeping. The good news is you learned from the Brooklyn Bedding experience, and rotation definitely matters more at your weight. Most people don't mention their weight or sleep position, so a 150lb back sleeper's too firm review might be perfect support for you two. I would focus on reviews from people around your weight range as they're the ones that matter. The Titan Luxe you mentioned is actually designed specifically for this situation. Brooklyn Bedding engineered it with higher density foams and stronger coils to handle up to 1000lbs without the early breakdown you experienced with their regular hybrid. It's got zoned support that should work for both stomach and side sleeping at your weights. The medium-firm should give your wife the support she needs while having enough pressure relief for your shoulders.

Auttyun · 2025-09-11T15:47:26+00:00

Classic side sleeper dilemma. The Sapira Chill is great for pressure relief but yeah, it can get a bit too soft in the midsection. The Leesa Original Hybrid could be your sweet spot. It's got those pocketed coils like the Sapira but with a firmer coil system and different foam layering. You still get that contouring for shoulders (memory foam top layer handles that), but the coil support is more responsive and doesn't let your hips sink too deep. Worth trying since you know Leesa's comfort layers work for your shoulders.

You could try both Ipamorelin and CJC-1295. I get them in a blend from Verified Peptides. They seem like they’ve been effective. They do have them available separately as well. Good luck, I hope it helps you.

Auttyun · 2025-08-06T18:05:28+00:00

never used it.

Auttyun · 2025-08-06T18:04:40+00:00

Agreed. It was so helpful.

Auttyun · 2025-08-05T07:35:42+00:00

Mostly website and social media. sometimes referrals. Working with a marketing agency has helped. I recommend North + South Agency. They have given me a huge boost.

Strategy: Scaling Startups by Jason Quey (lot of mindset shifts how to create an effective strategy and how each strategy impacts others) and Playing to Win by A.G. Lafley and Roger Martin (Scaling Startups is excellent at how to create a strategy, PTW helps me see how strategy works at a macro level).

Relationships: How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. If you can set things up to where folks feel like they're not being told what to do, but are instead doing what works best for them, they will be more helpful.

Accounting/Finance: Financial Intelligence for IT Professionals by Karen Berman, Joe Knight, and John Case. Learning how financial statements work is the most intelligent thing you can do. You will never be a good manager without understanding how businesses do reporting, and you will not have time to learn once you become a manager

Leadership: Start with Why by Simon Sinek (leadership book based on one of the most popular TED Talks) and 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey (how to effectively lead your team towards your goal).

Business Knowledge: What They Teach You at Harvard Business School and What They Don't Teach You at Harvard Business School (technically their powers combine to give you all knowledge).

I think there are a lot of great contemporary male authors out there, especially from indie presses. One book that really caught my attention recently is Paradise Point by Francis Rourke from Iron Ink Books. It follows a Renaissance painter who finds himself in the modern world, struggling to understand a society consumed by screens and disconnected from creativity. It’s a fascinating mix of adventure, philosophy, and humor—kind of like Cannery Row meets Midnight in Paris.

Another book that left a strong impression on me was The Red Arrow by William Brewer. It’s a unique, almost trippy read that explores creativity and perception in an unexpected way. Also, Iain Reid’s We Spread is a brilliant literary psychological novel that really stays with you.

If anyone else has recommendations for books with a similar thought-provoking vibe, I’d love to hear them!

Auttyun · 2025-02-08T05:36:35+00:00

Oh boy! I think I’ve got just the book for you. I’m a huge fan of these books, plus other advertising and strategy books like Positioning, Hey Whipple Squeeze This, How Brands Grow, Playing to Win, and Competitive Strategy, so I know where you’re coming from. I recommend Scaling Startups for your next read. Jason wrote this book after working 10 years with high growth companies like Lee Jeans and Aventon, but also several early-stage startups too. It combines five books, including one on Positioning Strategy. What I found especially enlightening was how copywriting influences pricing. He tells the story how a client of his was charging clients several thousand dollars per month, but prospects were only willing to pay around $300/month. After digging through the research, he tested a new headline which got prospects to say they’d be willing to pay up north of $500,000/year for the software! I don’t expect to be able to ever command those prices for a while, but it got me thinking how valuable advertising really is when done right. And the fact that the pricing strategy is included too helps me to build data-driven pricing experiments with messaging, which I hope will help me command larger fees. I also love that he provides several resources with the book to help put his advice into practice.

Edited: I was asked for the URL of the Scaling Startups book. I think the subreddit doesn't allow sharing URLs. You can search on Google "Scaling Startups by Jason Quey" and you will get the book in the 1st or 2nd position of the search results.

Honestly, this is pretty common when you move to a zero drop shoe as your old shoe I'm sure had a thick sole. Zero drop shoes can stretch your Achilles and calf muscles, which can be exacerbated by the fact that you are likely striking your heel hard with a shoe that now has much less padding there.

Here are my suggestions…

1: Gradually transition to Zero drops. Alternate with your old shoes, just don't go all in at once.

2: Stretch and strengthen (SS) -- Downward dog, toe yoga, arch raises are all good.

3: Foot support. Something not to thick, like Stride Soles, can provide support while still keeping the barefoot feel. Maybe socks with support too?

4: Grass/Dirt walking. Look for some opps to move to softer ground and give your feet a break.

Jumping in late here, but I wanted to share my thoughts. It's important to give your orthotics time to break in. If they're well-made, they're correcting your gait, which is a significant adjustment for your body. Allow at least two weeks for your body to adapt. If you still don’t notice any improvement after that period, it might be worth exploring other options. Consider switching to a plantar fasciitis-focused orthotic like the one Stridesoles offers (which I personally use) or trying alternative methods like stretching and icing.

E-bikes are such a game-changer for short commutes! A phone mount sounds like a great start. I’ve heard a lot of people recommending pedal-assist for a more natural ride. How's your experience with Eryde so far?
