I'm back in 2024 with exciting updates!
Our new Shopify store landed + other updates
It has been over half a year since I last touched this newsletter.
For those who might not remember, I mentioned at the end of last year, I was made redundant, so I focused hard on myself.
Being made redundant is definitely an interesting feeling.
Being sent a meeting invite at 7 pm with no context, you do tend to think something bad is about to happen. Even when you know it’s potentially coming - it just hits differently when it actually happens.
I would like to summarise my thoughts using the famous Pikachu face meme.
However, I’ve gave myself a break and it also gave me some time to finish some projects. In a way, being made redundant was a blessing in disguise!
This leads me to my next point!
I am excited to announce some exciting things for 2024!
I started a new job at Shopify. It’s one of the leading e-commerce platforms for a reason, and it’s been a blast so far especially working in a completely different industry than what I’m used to.
In really coincidental timing, I launched my pet book project on Shopify (how uncanny is that)! We managed to kick our Kickstarter goals, and I’m selling a book now (check it out below)!
My Travel Youtube Channel hit above 1k subscribers!
So what about the tech newsletter?
This is about to be another wild transition, but I plan to make this newsletter more about things I’m doing and updates that are happening with me than a generic tech newsletter.
I will still bring an occasional tech update to anything interesting, but I want to shift the focus.
Not only do I want to make this a two-way conversation, but it’s also a lot easier for me to write this newsletter and keep it regular.
So apologies in advance to those looking to this newsletter as a way to get regular tech updates. I will eventually re-brand this newsletter as it doesn’t make sense calling it ‘CornerTech and Marketing’ anymore - happy to hear any ideas!
Thanks again,
Richard
