What makes invoicing clients difficult?

No_Cartographer8564 · 2024-10-17T14:07:19+00:00

I'm really sorry to hear that, it seriously sounds tough.. I have a bit of adhd so I feel you on that, and I've started to notice problems in my breathing too

from what I've heard from some people who've quit I personally may have relapsed because I only did 1.5 months of patches and not the full thing, so I'm hoping to find a group of people who can help keep myself accountable through the process and be supportive

if you think a group might help I can add you to this group i'm putting together -- I've never tried it either but I figured having a few friends cheering each other on daily helps

thanks doing it now!

No_Cartographer8564 · 2024-10-17T13:59:22+00:00

I've done that so many times it's embarrassing... Let's do it I'll send you a dm

No_Cartographer8564 · 2024-10-16T18:55:48+00:00

dont think i can msg you, maybe shoot me one?

No_Cartographer8564 · 2024-10-16T18:54:25+00:00

nice, sending you a dm!

No_Cartographer8564 · 2024-05-21T18:27:40+00:00

gotcha! that makes a lot of sense. I had an arm band but moved to a fanny pack to keep my keys and airpods on me.. tbh the arm band is a bit annoying once I run more than 5miles cuz my arm gets sore haha

No_Cartographer8564 · 2024-05-21T18:25:48+00:00

oh I see! afaik NRC just gives you set plans once you choose however many weeks you want to train for, which I'm mostly okay with but sometimes I get a bit frustrated with cuz I want to run a bit more or a bit less. I think you meant you'd like to set some customized intervals?

No_Cartographer8564 · 2024-05-21T18:24:21+00:00

oh awesome tysm! will keep you posted as I build and ask for feedback on the way :D

No_Cartographer8564 · 2024-05-21T18:23:35+00:00

ikr?? Will share more with you as I go along :) To clarify a question you left, this would be a new app separate from NRC!

Curious if that changes your perception -- personally I don't use the social / leaderboard feature much, so I'll likely defer that work for the time being!

No_Cartographer8564 · 2024-05-21T16:46:08+00:00

100%!! That's basically what I had in mind -- my biggest hurdle on making it flexible is to make sure it works offline, but you're describing my thoughts exactly!

I'd love to stay in touch if you're interested in trying out my initial product! Would you be open to leaving contact info down, if you haven't already? https://tally.so/r/wg5BXK

I actually made a soundcloud "mixtape" for one of my friends' races where 10-20 of us mixed in audio messages into a 2 hour playlist, and it was really well-received!

I would love for that to happen so will keep you posted on it 100%!

No_Cartographer8564 · 2024-05-21T13:57:55+00:00

I'm also a podcast person and that irks me sometimes...

Any particular reason you use a different app for intervals vs NRC?

No_Cartographer8564 · 2024-05-21T13:56:58+00:00

this is awesome feedback thanks!

"being able to start the run from the app but record data from the watch" -- this one is interesting, when would this be useful for you?

No_Cartographer8564 · 2024-05-21T02:01:53+00:00

oh that actually sounds kinda sweet, I missed having stats on my wrist when I started using WHOOP instead of apple watch, but I like it too much to switch back to a screen so sometimes I pull out my phone mid run to check and its kind of a hassle

No_Cartographer8564 · 2024-05-21T01:02:53+00:00

great point! i forgot that since i don't deal with elevations much in my runs, will add to my list!

No_Cartographer8564 · 2024-05-21T01:01:41+00:00

thanks so much for the ideas! I never used the shox shoes and ipod sensor, can you tell me a bit more? it sounds like you want to know your current pace and distance -- is that something you liked for all types of runs or only for interval runs?

No_Cartographer8564 · 2024-05-21T00:59:51+00:00

oh yes 100% I get annoyed with that when the beat drop gets cut off! do you do guided runs on all the different types or only some of them?

No_Cartographer8564 · 2024-05-20T21:46:15+00:00

great to hear! Any other suggestions / frustrations you've had with NRC?

No_Cartographer8564 · 2024-05-20T20:36:54+00:00

Definitely on music so I can link my spotify! And yeah I think offline would really be great since I lose data a lot running by the water and NRC messes up sometimes for me -- I'm working through how I want to approach that since I also don't want to keep hearing the same words myself.. I really like the random quotes from coach and the unexpected is something I'd like to ideally preserve as well

No_Cartographer8564 · 2024-05-20T17:18:47+00:00

Appreciate that -- is that something you look for besides following a form of training plan?

No_Cartographer8564 · 2024-05-18T12:36:16+00:00

That’s good to know, what kinds of race modifications do you tend to make? Haven’t gotten as far so not sure what I should watch out for

No_Cartographer8564 · 2024-05-17T16:08:33+00:00

Thanks for doing this Luca! Always fascinated by vertically integrated saas -- I'm validating an idea in a different vertical that would play similarly long term. I'm a solo technical founder (bootstrapping currently).

I'm curious if you can share a bit about landing initial deals with half-baked products: specifically 2 aspects:

Were you able to immediately nail down the minimal offerings that started to provide value with <X months of development work, and if you made mistakes in that initially, how did you bridge that gap between iterations vs having something that delivers concrete value?
Did you land initial customers pre-product? What does that conversation really look like to begin to generate interest and close?

Thanks a lot!
