I don't know if you can play the startup game without having some "Why am I doing this?" moments. I think we almost always bite off more than we can chew, which is what leads someone to live the boundary-pushing life of starting a business.

Yeah... that's a great point. I can look back on every startup I've launched and remember thinking: "Why am I doing this?" I guess that's part of the adventure, huh?

Yep! I think we might also secretly be addicts.

Secret? Umm... talk to my wife, and I'm pretty sure she'll tell you there's nothing secret about it.

Excellent. Love the honesty! (Writing a Medium article about it. Will share soon.) Yes, you are right, you have to be a little crazy but you are creating and that makes life worth enjoying. I am currently trying to build some solutions on my side. Too early but I am enjoying the process.

Possible feedback: Do you have the option to stop sending emails after x tries?

Definitely a little crazy, and, you're right... that's the fun part.

Looking forward to reading your Medium article when you've got it. Re: feedback -- Autopest only send 4 times (max) by default. In my years of sending cold email sequences, anything beyond 4 follow-ups led to significantly diminishing returns (e.g. it's the point at which you really start annoying people).
