“I’ll do all the fun stuff, like build a website, hire some people, make some merch, buy some macs, set up the studio and plan a launch event.”
“Between now and then I’ll do all the fun stuff, like build a website, hire some people, make some merch, buy some macs, set up the studio and plan a launch event.
