Well, that’s a wrap on our Product Hunt launch, folks! Thank you to everyone who has supported us and for the encouraging feedback! Please consider joining our newsletter and following our journey as we scale The Green Book Project to new heights. https://www.thegreenbook.io/ And a special shout out to my rockstar team @christineduong @ylowe @chelsea_arceo without their tireless work and...

Hi everyone, I'm the founder of The Green Book Project 📗. We launched The Green Book Project on the Apple App Store back at the end of 2020 when it was still just a side project. Fast-forward to today, and we have over 5,000+ users across the US & Canada! This is our story: ⛴ During my senior year of college, I had the unique experience of traveling the world on a study abroad program...

Oh I love this! @ylowe created a #high_fives channel for us as well @ The Green Book Project. It's been a really great place to show appreciation for each other and recognize people's accomplishments. We also make use of "brag books" to keep track of what things people have accomplished but this is more for future performance reviews rather than anything else

Funnily enough, I actually work more hours when WFH compared to when I was in an office. I find that I'm actually way more productive WFH because I can take care of personal needs (doing laundry, running to the bank, etc.) as they come up rather than having to hold off on everything until the workday ends.

I suspect the future of marketing will be the rise of corporate personalities. Influencer marketing has become one of the most effective marketing channels out there, and there is already a pretty big economy built around assisting aspiring influencers in growing their audiences and sourcing deals with corporate brands. I don't think it would be a leap to believe that consumer-facing...

Often when people from marginalized groups (people of color, queer folks, etc.) want to go somewhere new, we have to worry about whether or not we'll be safe or welcome when we get there. This problem causes businesses to miss out on potential customers and causes consumers to miss out on hidden gems and local favorites. Our app, The Green Book Project, helps customers like me identify...

For recharging on the weekends, I've recently started playing DnD with my brother and sister-in-law, and it's done wonders for my mental health. During the work week, I have found that just getting out of the house for a couple of hours a day has helped. Leading a remote team has meant that the lines between work and life get blurred. So getting out of the house really helps me reset.

I would 100% tell myself to invest more in friendships and to be intentional about keeping up with people. I would also tell myself that things like my SAT score, and my GPA are far less important in my professional life than I could ever have imagined.

1. Notion - I use it for pretty much everything from organizing my thoughts to running meetings and even for playing DnD with friends on the weekend. 2. Slack - I manage a remote-first team, and Slack is the primary medium we use to communicate with each other. I don't think our startup would function without it. 3. TikTok - Super-underrated platform for speaking to and engaging with users.

* Launching a Community Round on WeFunder for The Green Book Project: https://www.thegreenbook.io/ * Finding 2-3 influencers to partner w/ and grow our brand * Collect more feedback on our app's recent features and wrap up some A/B tests we've been running

A big hack I've learned for preventing miscommunications is to verbally check my assumptions. When someone does something I don't understand or that seems slightly rude I say: "You did or said 'X', which I interpret to mean 'Y'. Can you tell me if my assumption is correct?" It's worked wonders for dispelling miscommunications in both my professional and personal life, and it's even helped me...
