in regards to the protein powder sampling, along with the new pre workout product... potential to see a scenario where there will be Minted drinking containers/bottles to go with it? even if sold separately? Enjoying these reads & looking forward to my first hoodie from you coming in. Thank you!

Dani, yes, I think that makes complete sense for us to offer. The next question becomes "what does that product look like" and "how can it be aesthetically pleasing while also offer a high level of functionality"!!

It's been really interesting to follow your journey through these posts and your podcasts. As someone who is around the same age as you it's incredibly motivating to see you push towards your goals. Your drive is inspiring, keep pushing.

These weekly articles / updates are some of my highlights each week! Love the work! I find it so inspiring and interesting to start up my own business one day! I love the idea of running a clothing brand and the creative and free ideas that come with it. Even though there are the full sides, as you mentioned, I feel I’d still enjoy it cos it’s such a dream of mine and it’s all part of entrepreneurship! I love the training section at the bottom aswell because I want to start training both in the gym and running, so it really helps and is inspiring to see what people like you do on a weekly basis! Keep up the good work both of you!

I'm glad that these can serve as a source of inspiration. I hope that it can give a look behind the curtain at the things involved in the day to day. Oftentimes there is a lot of learning involved since a "right way" doesn't necessarily exist. Being able to just push through seems to be the best way forward.

I appreciate that! I find the training of AI models to be fascinating. I wish I understood the tech behind it more

First time reading a Minted Minutes but it was the perfect short read for my evening.

I can relate to the struggle of running with increasing temperature. I’m currently building my mileage back up, I hit 20 this week and will most likely max at 70 by August.

It’ll be cool to watch the progression of the upcoming pieces, especially the sunglasses. Enjoy your day!

Welcome & happy to have you here! Are you training for any races in specific or are you just working your base back up?

I compete at my university so it’ll be a normal cross country season in the fall. This track season I focused on the 5k and ended the season on a good note.

My goal(s): MAC All-Conference in the Fall and then in the Spring, break 15 minutes in the 5k.

I think the article only applies to far and few but they are right, mix the right person with a start up in a recession and you'll have a pretty solid company. I enjoy these reads first thing in the morning...gets your mind thinking on a entrepreneurial path, feels good.

Glad you enjoy them. They are certainly fun to write as I try and reflect on the past week's endeavors. It seems it's good for me mentally as well... sometimes I don't see the progress without stepping back in that way
