Running your own projects is tough.

You’re figuring things out as you go, second-guessing decisions, and doing the work even when no one’s watching.

That’s why I’m always inspired by people building something from the ground up. Watching others test ideas, stay consistent, and make progress—bit by bit—reminds me it’s possible.

It’s not about overnight wins. It’s about showing up, learning fast, and staying consistent.

So I want to start spotlighting others in some stories.

🌟Founder Spotlight

Coffee shops with complicated orders intimidate me. I never know what to say, and I definitely don’t want to be that customer. Which is why Rishabh Kewalramani’s solution hits home.

He saw the chaos behind the counter—baristas juggling 12-step drink orders in rush hour—and did something about it.

That “something” became Sidework, a tech startup that automates complex drink-making with the push of a button.

It’s now used everywhere from boutique cafés to hospitals and has raised over $10 million.

What stands out most is how Rishabh built it: not from a whiteboard, but from the floor.

When their first install went sideways, he and his team personally delivered the machine and improvised parts on the spot.

When baristas said, “We just need a bowl,” they 3D-printed one.

This isn’t about replacing people. It’s about giving them breathing room—freeing up staff to focus on hospitality, not memorizing recipes.

Sidework handles the back-end chaos so workers can bring the human touch out front.

Rishabh didn’t reinvent coffee. He fixed the bottleneck, built around it, and proved that tech can empower, not replace.

For anyone intimidated by crowded menus and espresso jargon—this is the kind of innovation that makes it all feel a little more human.

🧰 Tool of the Week

Some platforms are built to feel like software. Others feel like places.

Skool is firmly in the second camp.

It’s a community platform that looks deceptively simple—no dark patterns, no bloated dashboards, no dopamine-chasing design. But underneath that clean interface is a deeply effective system for organizing people, content, and conversation.

I’ve joined 5–6 Skool communities so far. And I’m seriously considering moving everything I run—courses, communities, private trainings—onto it.

Because here’s what Skool gets right: it doesn’t fight for your attention. It respects it.

Here’s why it’s a standout:

• Courses + Community in One Feed
  Lessons and discussions live side by side, so learning happens in real time, right where conversations are happening.

• Gamified, Not Gimmicky
  Points and leaderboards encourage contribution—not vanity. It rewards real momentum and visible progress.

• Event-Ready
  Built-in calendar makes it easy to run calls, Q&As, or coaching sessions. Members get alerts. You stay on track.

• Frictionless Setup
  No custom code. No complex integrations. Just upload your content and start. It’s ready out of the box.

• Mobile-First Done Right
  The apps actually work. Engagement continues on the go, and nobody misses out just because they’re not at a desk.

I’m currently using Skool to learn, connect, and share across multiple groups—and the more I use it, the more it feels like a natural home for my own products and people.

If you’ve ever tried cobbling together a Slack group, a course platform, a Facebook group, and a Zoom scheduler—you’ll know exactly why this feels so refreshing.

Skool isn’t just a place to teach.

It’s a place to build belonging.

Design for connection, not just content.

Try setting up your first Skool group this week—add a few lessons, schedule an event, and invite your closest collaborators.

Watch what happens when community becomes the core, not the afterthought.

See you next week—keep building places people want to return to!
