Hello and welcome to episode 103 of Webflail.

I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Theo Roland

Theo is a man you have no doubt come across on your escapades in the world of Webflow but just in case you haven’t, he’s leading the charge in the Francophone Webflow community.

What does Francophone mean? It means french speaking.

He’s french and runs InitWeb, which includes a frenchspeaking Webflow community, InitClub (1043 people in the slack), as well as bootcamps, self-paced courses and other resources.

Before this, he was a freelancer that taught people online.

On YouTube, he has 1.43K subscribers•114 videos

So, he’s a Webflow Expert & Global Community Leader, but has it always been this way?

Has it always been as dreamy as a float down the river seine with a bottle of vin rouge?

NO!

The failures that we will talk about today are:

• The failure of launching a studio alongside early-stage training. Unable to scale quickly enough -> Abandonment of this premature project in 2021, project revival in 2024.
• The failure in emotionally managing all the help requests from the Francophone Webflow Community Slack. Unable to respond to everyone -> Acceptance of the need to allow others to respond and understanding how to sustain a community independently.
• The failure to properly understand the content expected by the Community and the Learners of the training. Better tracking of needs and gamification to encourage completion. -> Fewer basic questions, more technical questions, easier content creation.
