It’s been a long journey.
If you’ve been following my page closely, you’ll notice I’ve been making a lot of posts around growth,how projects scale, how real Web3 growth actually works, not just hype.
At some point, I won’t lie… I felt like giving up.
Surviving this cohort felt like Squid Game fr 😂
Coupled with a lot of IRL stuff going on, it wasn’t easy.
But I knew what I wanted.
So I kept pushing. I kept showing up.
It’s been a 6-week journey with @StarkRisee ;intense, demanding, but very impactful.
And honestly, very healthy for how I now think about growth.
From day one till now, I’ve been documenting my journey.
If you check my highlights, you’ll see how my thinking evolved;from surface-level ideas to real strategy.
Now we’re in the final week.
And this week connected everything.
Not in a “new topic” way, but in a this-is-how-it-all-fits-together way.
We all think we know what a growth strategist is.
We read about it. We hear the term.
Some people even put “Growth Strategist” in their bio 😭😂
But this week made me realize something:
It’s not just about what you know.
It’s about how you think.
How you break problems down.
How you evaluate a project.
How you plan growth instead of guessing it.
This final phase taught me two core things.
First: how to run a proper growth audit.
Not vibes. Not assumptions.
But actually breaking a project down ;branding, tokenomics, community, visibility, collaborations and asking:
Is this project ready to grow… or will growth expose its weaknesses?
Second: how to build a complete growth plan.
A real one.
With phases.
With priorities.
With clear goals for awareness, engagement, conversion, and retention.
Not “post more” energy.
But structured direction a project can actually follow.
And the biggest lesson for me?
Growth isn’t about what you read.
Or what you memorize.
Or how many threads you’ve seen.
It’s about how well you can connect the dots and turn ideas into systems.
This journey didn’t just teach me growth.
It changed how I think.
And that, to me, is the real win.

My birthday and my X account’s anniversary are almost on the same day…
It’s been 2 years now. ✨
It hasn’t been easy, but we’ve kept pushing, learning and trying to show up.
Still here, still growing, and still figuring things out.
Happy weekend, guys. 🤎

The week the rewards stop is the most honest week your project will ever have.
I watched it happen to a project I once reached out to about a collaboration. What caught my attention was how much the founder was putting in to keep the project's audience around, all of it through incentives. For as long as the money kept flowing, the audience stayed. Then the incentives ended, and the audience left with them. It blew up in their face.
I call this the Embarrassment Gate. It's Minute 7 of my 10 Minutes Framework, and it comes down to one question.
If a user tried your product today, would they come back tomorrow without you reminding them?
Take your time with that one. No hiding behind design. No hiding behind metrics. No hiding behind "we're still early."
Here's why it matters. Retention that runs on incentives is borrowed. It looks like growth while you're paying for it, and the day you stop paying, you learn what you really had. A lot of teams find this out too late, and then they blame marketing, or the market.
Here's how to tell where you stand.
It passes when people return without a nudge. There's a reason to come back that has nothing to do with you pinging them. The product gives them something new each time, so one visit doesn't use it all up.
It fails when users show up if reminded and drift off if not. Every visit feels like a one-time thing, and your best numbers sit right next to your biggest rewards.
The one genuine way to fix this is to ask the users you already have. Give them a place to rate their experience, and you'll know what to prioritize.
Then build the reason to return into the product itself. A loop, something that changes over time, an outcome that grows. Not another reminder.
Here's the line I keep coming back to: if retention depends on you, it fails.

Getting gigs in this space has been tough lately, ngl.
If you don't have connections with builders or mutuals who can put you on to opportunities, you might spend a lot of time wondering how others keep landing jobs.
The reality is, referrals carry a lot of weight in this space. Sometimes, personal grind alone isn't enough.
But here's another thing: we're entering meme season. New projects will keep popping up, narratives will change, and there'll be opportunities to position yourself around the right ones. Just don't let the excitement make you ignore the risks.
For now, keep putting yourself out there.
Build relationships, get the right attention, stay consistent, and learn to handle being ignored or overlooked.
**The goal is simple: don't disappear just because things are slow.**
If you want to make this year count, there's still time. Get busy. 🫡

Giga unlock.
Another asset added to the grind.
Slowly but surely, we’re getting there.
