I never quite fit the mold.
The usual routes — high school, college, the 9-to-5 grind — just didn't resonate with me. My path has been more like a mosaic, full of beginnings and pauses, of launching brands and navigating through setbacks. It's a path familiar to 74 million others who, like me, felt the world wasn't ready for our kind of dreams.
Today, I stand with a different narrative, one that's not just mine but ours. Introducing "Do Your Thing™": A Manifesto for the Doers.
We're launching something more than a product; it's a movement. "Do Your Thing™" is a window into the souls of freelancers, side hustlers, and dreamers trapped in admin hell. It's for those juggling invoices, chasing payments, drowning in paperwork, while grappling with the labyrinthine complexities of taxes—a daunting, often bewildering challenge for even the most seasoned entrepreneurs.
WorkMade gets it. Passion shouldn't be buried under a mountain of admin. That's why we've crafted a platform that silences the noise, giving you the freedom to do what you do best — create, innovate, dream.
This is more than a story about a SaaS company or software. It's about building heart-driven businesses, pursuing dreams with fierce independence, and creating space to make things that truly matter.
Join us. Let's redefine success on our terms.
Amazing read.
“When multiple products come from the same factories, the logo starts to feel like a sticker.
The signal is not in the mark. It is in whether it ships, whether it works, and whether it can be repeated.”
Hardware isn’t slow because it’s hard.
It’s slow because it’s far away.
Shenzhen. A new hardware class. Shorter feedback loops.

@MartinGTobias Invest.
In $10B+ markets, 2nd or 3rd place company is still a fund returner.
My pre-seed investment @pandadoc is going against well-funded Docusign, Hellosign etc., but the market is big enough for Pandadoc to become a unicorn.
