Thank you! I tried to launch it a few years ago but ended up in the hospital a few days after the campaign went live. Ended up having to shelve it for a while. Excited to bring it back! :)

Okay friends, less than 24 hours until Lead and Chrome goes live. It's been a tough couple of years. I was laid off twice in 2023 and haven't had steady work since. Savings carried me for awhile, but honestly, I could really use a win. So, even if you can't back the project yourself, please share <3

Finally got to hop on a video chat with a long time internet friend and supporter of mine over on Patreon. Felt good to talk to someone who believes in me and what I do. This business isn't easy, but it's things like this that help me keep going. ❤️
