Didn’t do it all from a coffee shop, but days like these remind me of @thepatwalls journey building Starter Story. ☕️
Crazy how one year of focus can change things.
Pumped that I get to run Comprende full-time & live as a digital nomad ✈️

We’re back! After a holiday break, Comprende is ready for 2025 with big plans for our comunidad. Thank you for all your support in 2024—it was an incredible year.
In 🧵Here’s what’s coming!
3) Launching our MVP marketplace for Latino-owned businesses and a platform to connect brands with the next generation of Latino media properties & creators.
Congrats! @bobbypinckney1 & verse team! I still remember hearing about it at the LDC convening while you were still beta testing with users-huge growth! 👏
Big shout out to folks I ~digitally~ learned from like @gregisenberg ‘s ACP funnel which led to an unexpected main revenue stream almost at $10K MRR now, and @ShaanVP & @thesamparr for the knowledge around newsletters and biz growth, and the inspiration from @thepatwalls 🙏
Last Friday, I took a big leap—saying goodbye to my old job and diving full-time into running Comprende. This journey started as a passion project to uplift the U.S. Latino community, and now it’s my full-time mission. 🌟
I’m beyond excited for what lies ahead and incredibly thankful for everyone who’s been part of this journey. Here’s to new beginnings, impactful work, and building a brighter future together. ¡Vamos por más! 💪🏽

This is Peter Maldonado.
In 2009, he went bankrupt and lost it all.
15 years later, his company is making $500M/year selling meat sticks (yes, you read that correctly).
My top 9 takeaways from his story:
@thepatwalls Palm Harbor, Florida - Officially launched in January’24, monetized by April’24, and now at 8.7K MRR as of July’24.
Put in my resignation a few weeks ago & last day at work is next Friday.
Living as a digital nomad next ✈️ while building the biz.
