It has been a tough week. We want to make sure that you take the time to talk to someone if you’re struggling with your mental health. We know we’re doing our best to help our employees and we’re looking forward to helping you by answering some of your questions today.

In today’s Q&A Friday, we talk about company growing pains, continuous learning and reading, getting out of your own way, and more!

As your company grows, should you stick with serving your original customer needs better than anyone else or should you expand to other (potentially bigger) segments with different needs?
Have you ever struggled with learning faster than you can implement? If so, what did you do to slow down and not get stuck in a learning cycle?
Imagine you have to start ConvertKit all over again. What books/courses/mentors you would be consuming for the purpose of starting the business?
When you want to start hiring a team, how do you decide which role to hire first?
How are you measuring the success of this podcast? Are you willing to share any numbers (downloads, etc.)?
You guys read a lot of books. How much time do you spend reading?
