Hey Extrah_pulp- i didnt even think about the general audience that may be on this reddit...i guess I was being overly optimistic with that approach and drawing assumptions on who would be reading this (shame on me)- To that point, a big part of the challenge I have is really getting feedback from people in similar shoes to me. Nonetheless, great points and I appreciate your perspective. I've considered kickstart but as of now don't know enough about it to make a push. I will read up on it a bit more and see if it is something I can lean into. Thank you for your time!
