Why I trashed the Figma episode

Listen on

I'm running low on money and just scrapped an entire episode.

This week I made an executive decision: postpone the Figma episode. We're getting worse, not better. I launched a UX tools bundle at 5am, kept D&D night sacred, and realized I might just be a Dungeon Master LARPing as a founder (still not ready to accept how accurate that is).

This is what it looks like trying to balance play with reality.
