@here ive awoken from my coma. reading what @Oxyrus and @Jim Medlock said has been exactly what i needed. the lessons and focus that was gained from this experience is what will prove more valuable than any tangible prize.
pouring out everything we had about Chingu is what is going to make the most difference in my opinion. getting all of that data together, organizing our mission, recording sound and video promotional material. those adrenaline fueled savage modes is where a primal focus is borne. without that intensity we would not have anywhere near this complete level of understanding of both Chingu as a community and its future as a training grounds.
on a personal level i received both the rejection from LaunchCode and this “failure” in a 72 hour period. both of these were — what i saw — as pivotal moments in Chingu’s future. but i dont feel hurt or really even fazed by any of this. these to me are what the great leaders and revolutionary business people have always talked about when they said success
