Episode 1 — Candy Corn Day — You're CEO

On Candy Corn Day, we promise not to sugarcoat it — Buildiful faces tougher choices ahead.

It’s Candy Corn Day.

But let’s not sugarcoat it — we need a longer runway to help achieve our vision, one step at a time.

But first, the results are in:

Last week's votes were almost perfectly split between Growing a Brain and Rebuilding Buildiful.com.

So in true startup fashion, we’ll do both — in parallel, powered by caffeine and passion.

We’ve started laying down two tracks:

Track 1 — The Brain.

Experiments continue for Project GAB. It’s hectic, fascinating, and Buildiful all at once.

(If you are unfamiliar with what Project GAB is, feel free to check out our Growing a Brain series.)
Track 2 — The Hub.

The new Buildiful.com will become a proper product home, which houses a family of everything we’ve been building.

Meanwhile, the lights flicker ever so sporadically...

We’re exploring ways to bring in early revenue without breaking momentum.

One promising idea: a book titled How to “Steal” AI’s Jobs — part satire, but mostly a transformational guide.

It will be available globally. (AI wouldn't want you to read it, though.)

Other options are on the table:

We’re not ruling anything out — just gauging the optimal paths to keep the lights (and neurons) on.

An A* search of sorts.

If you’ve ever navigated the early-stage maze — fundraising, monetizing, or just staying sane — we’d love your take.

with your ideas, investor intros, or even hard truths.

Community insights will be featured in a future episode.

We also spun up a new Facebook page (link in footer). The old one is still trapped in the corporate equivalent of an inaccessible server room.

Thank you for being a part of You're CEO.
(Not to be confused with Your CEO.)
Every choice you make changes how Buildiful evolves — for real.
