I need your help 😬</p> </div> <div>We’ve had some early marketing wins. Some things are in motion. But we have <em>lots more</em> in our marketing roadmap. Things to write and create.

We’ll meet live occasionally for collaboration, but we’re very <em>anti-zoom-fatigue</em> here 😉</li> <li><strong>Calm, flexible hours</strong><br /> Yes, we value speed, efficiency, and making our best working hours count. NO, we won’t sacrifice our rest time, family time, happiness, and personal mental and physical health for the sake of “hustle”. Set your own hours and your own pace.</li> <li><strong>Part-time or full-time</strong><br /> I’m open to both. Please specify which you prefer or can or can’t do. Either way, expect this to be a steady, long-term position where you’re as much a part of our team as anyone else.</li> <li><strong>Small, collaborative team.</strong><br /> You’ll be directly involved in big creative decisions and directions, collaborating with the founder (me 🙂 and others as our small crew grows in the coming months and years.</li> <li><strong>It’s a new role. We’re a young company. Help make it great.</strong><br /> This is a new role in a young company so I’ll value your input when it comes to shaping the ideal structure for this position and all of our positions going forward.</li> </ul> <div><strong>Is this for you?
