After months of late nights, bug hunts, and quietly rebuilding something I’ve believed in for years, the newly redesigned PETALS app is finally live. And I’m bringing you with me — the nerves, the hiccups, the actual launch moment.

This episode’s not polished. It’s real. From pressing the button… to fixing what broke straight after… to finally seeing it live.

🎥 What you’ll see:

  • Launch day behind the scenes: nerves, debugging, and merge conflicts
  • A full walkthrough of the new PETALS design
  • Why I paused the party (and what I’m planning instead)
  • Busting the myths of entrepreneurship — turns out it’s not all tech bros and big exits
  • “This isn’t just a side project anymore.”

If you’ve ever shipped a product, or wanted to, this one’s for you.

I'm going to try keeping it short (around 60-90 seconds) but with this being the first one, I spent nearly a minute explaining the situation. This should come down as content unfolds. Tell me if I ramble on too much.

If you want to get on the new app, head over to https://petals.team/app, register your details and I'll personally connect to arrange your onboarding.
