  • Why Design Talent Can Make or Break a Startup

    In the world of startups, design often comes in late. Founders usually obsess over product features, funding decks, or engineering roadmaps. Design is treated as an add-on—a nice-to-have coat of paint once the “real work” is done. But in reality, the startups that break through noise and stick in people’s lives are usually the ones that invest in design early.

    Design is not decoration

    At its core, design is about problem-solving. For a startup, that means shaping how customers first encounter your idea, how easily they can use it, and how naturally it fits into their lives. A clunky product, confusing website, or misaligned brand message doesn’t just look bad—it erodes trust. And in the early days of a startup, trust is everything.

    Why startups undervalue design talent

    • The myth of speed: Many founders think design slows things down. But messy, rushed design costs more later when you have to rebuild from scratch.
    • Engineering bias: Teams tend to over-index on what can be built, not how it should feel.
    • “Anyone can design” trap: Tools are accessible today, but knowing how to use Figma is not the same as knowing how to create meaningful user flows.

    What strong design talent brings

    1. Clarity of offering: Good designers distill complexity into simplicity.
    2. Consistency: From the landing page to the app interface, design talent ensures a coherent story.
    3. Customer empathy: Designers listen differently. They translate frustrations into opportunities.
    4. Brand pull: Beyond logos, design shapes the mood of your company. It’s what helps your product feel alive, human, and worth belonging to.

    Hiring design talent as a startup

    • Start with mindset, not portfolio: Look for people who think systemically, not just visually.
    • Bring them in early: The earlier design shapes your foundation, the stronger you’ll be.
    • Value process over output: A single “beautiful mockup” isn’t the goal. Look for someone who can build systems, not just screens.
    • Create space: Don’t reduce designers to pixel-pushers. They should be in strategy discussions, product roadmaps, and customer calls.

    A hidden advantage

    When you hire strong design talent, you’re not just getting a visual identity. You’re buying time, trust, and focus. In a crowded market, design is often the difference between a product people try once and forget—or one they tell their friends about.

  • The Hidden Cost of Cheap Clothes: What Your Fabric Really Tells You

    The Hidden Cost of Cheap Clothes: What Your Fabric Really Tells You

    The Kora Edit is a textile art project shaped by slowness, soil, and story. Each piece begins with nature, and ends in personal meaning.

    The Cost of Cloth Tells a Story

    The cost of a piece of cloth says a lot—about its origins, the energies it holds from its making, and yes, perhaps something about you. I’ll leave that last part for your reflection, and focus on the first two.

    Recently, while budgeting for The Kora Edit, I was content with the numbers. They felt fair. But something tugged at me—how were the clothes I usually buy so cheap in comparison?

    That’s when I remembered my visit to Sanganer, a town near Jaipur known for its exquisite block printing. Two things from that trip stayed with me:

    • The Making of Handblocks
    • The Paint Shops

    Handblocks: Skill and Time in Every Inch

    The handblocks in Sanganer are carved using traditional chisels by skilled artisans in small workshops. These blocks start at ₹100—but prices rise quickly based on the complexity of the design, the type of wood, and the mastery of the karigar. Commissioning a block is a costly affair.

    In Old Jaipur, we visited an antique shop. It had old, damaged, beautiful blocks made of strong wood, starting at ₹250. As we were leaving, the shopkeeper offered to show us ₹30 blocks—these were machine-made, carved from mango wood, designed to mimic craft without carrying its soul.

    Note: Weaker wood for blocks also means it is not meant/planned intentionally to last for longer lengths of printing, which means early discard and waste. Imagine how the wood demand changes just because fast fashion and ‘choice’ influenced the process of manufacturing the clothes.

    Paint Shops: Colour at a Cost

    The paint shops looked more like chemistry labs—only messier, scarier, and clearly harmful. Workers used gloves and makeshift tools to mix pigments. In one unit, I noticed how some of the workers had uneven skin tones on their hands—likely due to prolonged contact with chemical dyes.

    The printed cloth is then steamed to fix the colour and washed thoroughly. But let’s be honest—what you may be wearing right now could carry this exact story. And the cheaper the fabric, the more invisible (and likely unsafe) that process has been.

    And we haven’t even begun to speak about what happens to the discarded dye water or the harsh detergents used in washing.

    The Real Price of Mass Manufacturing

    Yes, mass manufacturing brings macroeconomic benefits. But it also causes macro damage—to workers, to water, to the very soil we stand on.

    Let me leave you with a question:
    If the full story of what went into your clothes was laid out before you—would you still choose to wear them?

    This question has shifted something in me. I want to wear what I own for longer, repurpose what I can, and now—through The Kora Edit—create pieces that hold story, craft, and intention from the very start.

    If this reflection stirred something in you, I invite you to stay connected:

  • The Vocabulary of Cloth: Words That Weave Elegance Into Textile Design

    The Vocabulary of Cloth: Words That Weave Elegance Into Textile Design

    Every industry has its own language. But in textiles, that language is tactile.
    It doesn’t just describe function — it describes feel.
    To know the right word for something is to know how to work with it, tend to it, elevate it.

    A fabric isn’t just “shiny” — it has luster.
    A raw cloth isn’t just “unfinished” — it’s greige.
    A good cotton doesn’t just feel soft — it is supple, breathable, long-stapled.

    The language of textiles is a mirror of the elegance embedded in the craft.

    🌾 Words That Shape the World of Fabric

    Here are just a few of the words that live inside the world of cloth — words we return to again and again as we create:

    Greige

    /gray·zh/
    Raw, untreated fabric straight from the loom or knitting machine — unbleached, undyed, full of potential.

    Skein

    A loosely coiled length of yarn or thread. A word that feels like a whisper, often used in dyeing and handwork.

    Luster

    The soft, light-reflective quality of a fabric’s surface. Silk has it. So does sateen. It’s what makes fabric glow without glitter.

    Supple

    The gentle drape and flexibility of a fabric — often used to describe high-quality, wearable cloth that moves with the body.

    Sheen

    Like luster, but subtler. It’s the gleam on the surface of a well-finished fabric, often created through weave or finishing processes.

    Scouring

    The process of cleansing fabric of oils, waxes, or impurities before dyeing — essential for even colour absorption, especially in natural dyes.

    Selvage

    The clean, finished edge of woven fabric. In high-end design, selvage can be a mark of intention — respected, not trimmed.

    Warp & Weft

    The foundational axes of woven cloth. The warp is the vertical thread held under tension; the weft is what moves across it — like the past and present weaving a future.

    🪡 The Elegance of Technicality

    In the hands of artisans, technical terms become tools of reverence.

    Knowing how a fabric moves, breathes, takes dye, or frays — is as much about vocabulary as it is about instinct.
    Language gives clarity. And clarity allows respect.

    To say “This fabric has memory” or “This weave resists drape” is to enter a conversation not just with material — but with history, with ecology, with emotion.

    🌿 Language as Legacy

    At The Kora Edit, we hold these words with care.
    Because this is a project not just about making garments — but about remembering. Remembering the depth of the cloth, the lineage of the process, the intimacy of creation.

    Whether it’s a white greige gown waiting to be dyed, or a skein of yarn soaking in indigo, each part of the journey has a name — and that name holds power.

    ✍🏽 Let’s Keep Naming

    This blog is an invitation to slow down — not just in making, but in naming.

    To replace “rough” with “raw.”
    “Nice” with “supple.”
    “Unfinished” with “greige.”
    “Beautiful” with “well-made.”
    “Fashion” with “textile art.”

    Because how we speak about cloth is how we speak about care.

  • Why I’m Creating a Textile Art Project (Not a Fashion Brand) with Natural Dyes and Rural Women

    Why I’m Creating a Textile Art Project (Not a Fashion Brand) with Natural Dyes and Rural Women

    Let’s get one thing out of the way:
    The Kora Edit is not a fashion project.

    It’s a textile art collaboration. A slow experiment. A process of remembering.

    And it began, quite unexpectedly — with a scroll.

    🌿 Where It All Started

    I’ve never been drawn to fashion in the conventional sense.
    For most of my life, “fashion” meant birthday gifts, maybe the odd saree from a family wedding. I didn’t grow up studying silhouettes or following seasonal trends.

    But I’ve always been curious about alternatives — alternate paths, places, philosophies.
    Bridge & Bloom, after all, was built around the idea of figuring things out — sometimes without a map.

    One day, while scrolling Instagram, I stumbled upon a beautiful couple living in the middle of nowhere. One of them worked with natural dyes and eco-printing. Their process was quiet, raw, real.

    And then I saw something that made me pause.

    A cloth that could be re-dyed by the wearer.
    Not discarded. Not replaced. Just… renewed.

    That single act — re-dyeing as renewal — struck a chord.

    Cloth As a Language of Self

    I started thinking about the freedom of cloth — especially in Indian tradition:
    Dhotis. Veshtis. Sarees. Angavastrams.
    Lengths of fabric that invite interpretation. That carry meaning. That express self — without being cut into a shape too soon.

    What if a garment didn’t have to be static?
    What if it could be a mirror? A canvas? A story in motion?

    The Making of The Kora Edit

    Soon, I found myself in conversation with a conscious designer from the city who runs a studio called Our Feets Can Cuddle — someone who has worked with natural dyes, prints, and thoughtful processes.

    We partnered with Rangrez, a rural skill centre outside Jaipur that empowers women through stitching and craft.

    Together, we decided to create 18 pieces — all free-size, re-dyeable, and rooted in story.
    Not fashion. Not trend.
    Just cloth, soil, and self — stitched slowly.

    What This Project Means (To Me and to Bridge & Bloom)

    As someone who’s been working in systems thinking, storytelling, and business design, entering the world of textiles was both humbling and exciting.

    It taught me new materials.
    New vocabularies.
    New ways of seeing beauty in the unfinished.

    But more importantly, it aligned with what Bridge & Bloom has always stood for:

    🌀 The joy of figuring things out
    🧭 The courage to walk an alternate path
    🤝 The beauty of co-creating with care

    This project isn’t about establishing a new vertical or entering the “fashion space.”
    It’s about doing one meaningful thing and letting it teach me something.

    As a byproduct, yes — it might open doors for new kinds of clients or collaborations.
    But that’s never the point.
    The point is the process.

    In Closing

    The Kora Edit is a gentle rebellion.
    It’s about slow making instead of fast trends, about collaborating instead of controlling.
    If you’re someone who loves material, memory, or making things with intention — follow along.
    We’re not here to sell a lifestyle.
    We’re here to remember something we already knew.

  • The Kora Edit: A Textile Art Project Rooted in Slow Cloth, Story, and Self

    The Kora Edit: A Textile Art Project Rooted in Slow Cloth, Story, and Self

    Some projects don’t begin with a design brief.
    They begin with a feeling.

    The Kora Edit is one such project — a collaborative textile art offering shaped by slow processes, lived memory, and the gentle dignity of handmade cloth.

    This is not fashion. This is not a launch.
    This is a question wrapped in fabric:
    What might happen if what we wore carried not just style, but story? Not just form, but feeling?

    Over the next three months, we will co-create a series of 18 free-size garments — made to be kept, dyed, redyed, touched, re-touched — and loved for longer than trend allows.

    🌿 What is The Kora Edit?

    ‘Kora’ means raw, blank, untouched. It is where the story begins — a metaphor for memory waiting to take form.

    The Kora Edit brings together 18 free-size garments that are:

    • Hand-treated with eco-printing, natural dyeing, and block techniques
    • Stitched by the women of Rangrez, a rural skill centre
    • Designed to be re-dyed and revived over time, so they grow with the wearer

    Each piece carries its own evolution — like the person who wears it.

    🧶 Why This Is Not Fashion

    Because we’re not trying to disrupt fashion.
    We’re trying to remember something older than it.

    We are not here to be another label that “thinks differently”.
    We are here to co-create a slower loop — where what we wear becomes an archive of who we are becoming.

    This is not a product launch. It’s a quiet experiment in textile and time.

    🪡 The Collection

    We are crafting 18 pieces — all adjustable-size, and all offered in three tiers of presence:

    1. Everyday Rituals

    Soft tops, dhotis, and wraps designed for daily rhythm

    2. Slow Statements

    Longer silhouettes and sculptural forms — garments that hold pause

    3. Living Heirlooms

    One-of-a-kind textiles to pass on or revive across time

    Each piece will carry a story tag — naming its process, place, and season.

    🤍 The White Cloth: A Symbol, Not a Blank

    Some garments will be shown undone — undyed — on purpose.
    They are symbolic. A quiet gesture toward possibility.
    They will also be available for purchase — with the invitation to re-dye later, as an act of becoming.

    🌾 Who’s Behind This Project

    • Bridge & Bloom – creative direction, project curation, and storytelling
    • Our Feets Can Cuddle – fabric and dye studio leading print, material sourcing, and technical development
    • Rangrez Skill Centre – rural women-led stitching and production
    • Vinyasa Earth – host of the final ramp walk at Zariya, their annual art festival

    This is a conversation between land, labour, and legacy.

    ✨ Support the Thread

    We’re opening this circle gently — to funders, patrons, and early collectors.

    You can:

    • Support a tier of creation (₹25K–1L) as a patron or brand
    • Pre-order a piece (₹10K–₹30K) to be delivered after the ramp
    • Offer any amount in support of textile art, rural women, and slowness

    [🧵 Read our pitch deck or funding appeal → link]

    🧭 Why The Kora Edit?

    Because cloth can be more than clothing.
    Because the hands that stitch deserve to walk beside what they make.
    Because stories can be dyed into fabric — and revived across lifetimes.

    This isn’t about owning more. It’s about owning slower.
    Not consumption — companionship.

    We’re not building a brand.
    We’re tending to a thread of thought.

  • The world of Natural Dyeing

    The world of Natural Dyeing

    The Kora Edit is a textile art project shaped by slowness, soil, and story. Each piece begins with nature, and ends in personal meaning.

    Natural dye as a method is a process to express love to the fabric, an investment of patience.

    When I first started reading about extensive techniques and documentation about natural dyes, I realised that it is reveals the true nature of the fabric. The dye don’t lie. If the fabrics are not pure, the dye will show. If they are pure the dyes will speak. If the dyer is in haste, the dye yawns, if there is patience and love, the dye celebrates!

    The Process

    Sourcing
    Natural dyes can be done on 2 kinds of natural fabrics-

    1. Plant based (also technically known as cellulosic fibers) which are cotton, hemp, etc

    2. Animal based (also technically known as protein fibers) which are wool, silk, leather.

    It is very important to know what fabric you intend to use. This will decide a few process to get that amazing piece you imagine to have.

    Stitching

    If you plan on making your piece you can consider stitching first. Its good to also decide on the dyeing technique as some of them may need stitching later (eg: Block printing because it needs a flat surface). So yea, chose your pieces and a dyeing technique to make this call.

    Scouring

    Many a times scouring is considered ‘just washing’ the cloth. But that is a very superficial understanding. Scouring is actually cleaning the surface so that the dye can bond well. Its more like dealing with you old situations before starting to band with new ones strongly (especially when the new ones are vibrant and morally strong). You may find fabrics in the market that say Ready for Dyeing (RFD) or Prepared for Dyeing (PFD), but you still need to scour this.

    We scour plant based fabrics to remove the waxes and pectins (a plant compound that helps plant protect in the wild). To do so, we try to have an alkaline wash bath gradually heated to 80-90 degree celcius max. You use washing soda and mild detergent(Ezee) to clean off the surface thoroghly. Simmer the cloth for 1-2 hours. The proportions of cleaning agents depends on weight of fabric/fibre(W.O.F).

    For protein based fabric, the goal is to remove oils, dirt, sericin (in silk) and lanolin (in wool). To scour these, we have to be really delicate as the protein fibres are delicate. Never have water above 60 degree celcius (it should not boil) especially for silk. We need to have our bath slightly acidic(Orvus Paste). Gently heat for 30 to 60 min and do not stir for wool. Try to rinse it in a similar temperature water.

    So yes- this is just not washing

    Mordanting

    After scouring, rinsing and drying, now the cloth is ready for the next process which is not dyeing(yet). Mordanting is a method to add an agent on the layer of the cloth that allows the natural dye to bond strongly and deeply. This is a crucial step as it adds longevity to the colours and enhances the quality(like vibrance). Here are few commonly used mordants you could consider-

    1. Alum = bright & clear colours
    2. Iron = darker, moodier tones
    3. Copper = greenish or warmer shifts

    Sometimes dyers decide to have mordants that add colour! This makes mordanting a process of dyeing too.

    Dyeing

    There are so many ways dye a cloth, and here lies the true expression! your dying technique will also decide how you want to prepare you dye recipie and in what quantity. Following is the list to different dyeing techniques you could consider-

    1. Block Printing
    2. Eco Printing
    3. Full Dye
    4. Brush painting
    5. Naturalistic printing
    6. Resist Dying

    Resist dying is an infinite field to experiment. different cultures and traditions do it different way and are called different things. You may feel everything is the same from the process standpoint (and thats why it is clubbed under the umbrella of resist dyeing) but these have a very strong cultural significance and interesting enough that deserves a read!. For now, I am listing down some of them here.

    Types of resist dyeing

    1. Bandhani (Tie & Dye)
    2. Batik (Wax resist)
    3. Shibori (Clamp resist)
    4. Dabu (Mud resist)
    5. Stitch resist
    6. Screen Resist
    7. Ice Dyeing

    Take some time to sink in this. I would be writing more about each type of dyeing and how can you prepare your dyeing process for the same. For now, keep foraging, dreaming and doing <3.

  • Why Your Website Isn’t Working (and How to Fix It Without a Full Redesign)

    Why Your Website Isn’t Working (and How to Fix It Without a Full Redesign)

    So… your website exists. It’s out there. Floating. Waiting. Like a lonely boat in the digital ocean.
    And still — crickets. No clicks. No inquiries. No sales.
    What gives?

    If you’re a solo entrepreneur or founder who’s poured love (and probably a Sunday or three) into building your site, but it’s not doing the work — this blog is for you.

    We’re skipping jargon. Skipping blame. And skipping the “just hire an expensive agency” pitch.

    Let’s get into why your website isn’t working — and how to fix it without a full-blown redesign.

    1. Your Homepage Has No Job Description

    Your homepage isn’t just a “welcome” sign. It’s a guide dog with a mission:
    → Who’s this for?
    → What problem do you solve?
    → What should I do next?

    Fix it:

    • Add a clear headline with what you do and who you do it for.
    • Use subtext to hint at the value or transformation.
    • Make the call to action obvious (and friendly — not “submit form 479-C”).

    🛠 Example:
    Instead of “Welcome to My Website”
    Try: “Helping solo coaches turn overwhelmed visitors into booked clients.”

    2. It’s Not Google’s Type

    Google is like your high school crush — into consistent, clear, and confident.

    If your pages have no meta titles, no H1s, or confusing navigation, Google isn’t sure what you’re about.

    Fix it:

    • Use basic on-page SEO: one H1, focused keywords, short URLs.
    • Write meta descriptions like mini-ads.
    • Add alt text to images. (No more “IMG_2024_finalFINALdefinitelyFINAL.jpg”)

    3. It’s Pretty… But Quiet

    A visually beautiful site that doesn’t guide users = a silent film with no subtitles.
    Looks cool. Doesn’t convert.

    Fix it:

    • Tell users what to do at every scroll point.
    • Use microcopy: explain buttons, reassure visitors, show next steps.
    • Add testimonials, not logos. Humans trust humans.

    4. It’s Not Mobile-Ready (but 80% of Your Traffic Is)

    Yes, it looks fab on your desktop.
    But check it on your phone.
    We’ll wait.

    Fix it:

    • Test your site on mobile devices.
    • Use tools like Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test.
    • Remove anything that scrolls sideways or takes a century to load.

    5. You Haven’t Asked for Help

    Here’s a secret: Even designers ask for audits.
    You don’t need to DIY forever. What you need is direction, not overhaul.

    Fix it:
    Book a website audit.
    (Shameless plug: That’s something we do. Gently. With snacks and no shame.)

    Outro

    You don’t need a new website.
    You need a website that’s doing its job — working alongside you while you focus on your magic.

    If your current one’s underperforming, let’s not scrap it. Let’s tune it.

  • Beyond Launch: What Ongoing Website Support Actually Looks Like (and Why It Matters)

    Beyond Launch: What Ongoing Website Support Actually Looks Like (and Why It Matters)

    ou launched the website. You celebrated. Maybe even had a cupcake.
    And then… the questions rolled in.

    • “Can we add that new service we’re now offering?”
    • “Why is the contact form not working?”
    • “Our new product is live — can we put it on the homepage?”
    • “I accidentally broke the entire menu. Help.”

    Sound familiar?

    Launching your website isn’t the finish line. It’s the starting point of something alive, evolving — and a little needy. Kind of like a houseplant, but with SEO and backend plugins.

    That’s why we offer ongoing website support: to make sure your digital home doesn’t just exist… it thrives.

    So what is ongoing support, exactly?

    Here’s what you get when you work with us beyond launch:

    🧽 Monthly Maintenance

    • Plugin + platform updates (WordPress, Webflow, etc.)
    • Security checks and backups
    • Uptime monitoring (aka making sure your site isn’t randomly down)

    📦 Content Updates

    • New blog posts or portfolio entries
    • Adding or replacing team members, testimonials, photos
    • Seasonal or promo banner updates

    🛠️ Fixes + Tweaks

    • Fixing layout bugs on mobile
    • Making that one button actually clickable
    • Adjusting forms, menus, and all the tiny things that matter a lot

    📊 Performance Checks

    • Basic SEO tune-ups
    • Page speed checks and optimizations
    • Google Analytics monitoring (are people even visiting that new sales page?)

    ✨ Light Strategy Support

    • “Should we add this new product to the homepage?”
    • “Is our About page still telling the right story?”
    • “Can we make the CTA less ‘salesy’ and more us?”

    (Yes, you can ask those things. And yes, we love answering them.)

    Why does this matter?

    Because your business doesn’t stand still — and your website shouldn’t either.

    Most solo business owners or small teams don’t have the time (or desire) to DIY site updates, chase down bugs, or Google “how to un-break the mobile nav.”
    We step in as your behind-the-scenes calm — handling the messy, technical, ongoing stuff so you can focus on what you actually love doing.

    When does ongoing support make sense?

    If you’re…

    • Planning regular content (blogs, case studies, offers)
    • Offering services that evolve with seasons or trends
    • Tired of sending “Hey can you fix this?” messages every month
    • Thinking “What if something breaks and I don’t even know?”

    …then yes. Ongoing support is your website’s peace-of-mind plan.

    Not just support. Partnership.

    We don’t ghost post-launch. (We’re more “text you a meme and fix your footer at 11pm” energy.)
    With ongoing support, you get a partner who understands your site, your story, and your style — and keeps things running without you lifting a finger.

    Because your website deserves more than a one-time glow-up.
    It deserves care. Clarity. And a team that still picks up the phone after launch day.

    During a visit to Ampera Energy, I was referred to another company(Darukaa) for design work. It didn’t go anywhere at the time — just one of those conversations that floats into the ether.

    Five months later, I found myself back at the co working space, catching up with the leadership team. As we spoke about their internal bottlenecks, one challenge stood out:

    “We’re struggling to keep up with consistent, meaningful content on LinkedIn.”

    That’s when the spark hit — what if we built an AI agent to do it for them?

    Not a generic scheduler.
    Not another “Monday motivation” bot.
    But something smarter, contextual, and personal.

    2. 🤯 The AI Agent That Writes and Posts for You

    Fast-forward to today: I now have a fully functioning, self-hosted AI agent sitting right on my laptop.

    Here’s what it does:

    • Searches Google Trends for topic outbreaks
    • Extracts keywords relevant to the brand’s tone and niche
    • Generates a short-form post (brand-aligned, human-sounding)
    • Automatically posts it on LinkedIn — either via a founder’s or team member’s profile every 3 days

    No intervention. No reminders. Just a system that observes the world and speaks when it has something worth saying.

    Honestly? It still blows my mind.

    3. ⚙️ DIY or Done-For-You: What Works Best?

    Now, you might be wondering — can I build one too?

    The short answer: Yes.
    The longer answer: It depends.

    Here are your options:

    • Do it yourself: If you’re technically curious, I can show you how to host your own AI agent, plug into APIs, and automate the workflow.
    • Get it built: If you’re a founder or a team who just wants it done, I can build and customize it for you.
    • Somewhere in between: You want to learn just enough to tweak and maintain it — that’s doable too.

    The key variable here is your budget and how “autonomous” you want the agent to be. A truly hands-free system involves some cost for workflow orchestration, hosting, and maintenance.

    4. 🔍 Why This Matters (Beyond the Cool Factor)

    This isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about resilience and relevance.
    Posting regularly isn’t just about visibility — it’s about trust, presence, and staying top-of-mind without burnout.

    With AI, you can scale your voice without diluting your intent.
    You can show up even when you’re deep in client work, on a creative break, or just plain tired.

    For passion-led businesses, that’s a game changer.
