Hey gang!
I tend to get really sucked into working on web design nonsense, and can become a bit of a social zombie... it's something I'm working on.
This project takes up about 90% of my headspace.
Working on freelcpl began as a school project. I had this idea to "gamify finance" in order to make it easier to learn about.
After graduating the idea became a personal passion. I filed an LLC, learned how to build a website, and filed for a trademark. Lots of Marines were interested, so we self funded an app build, and conducted a pilot study.
This study was conducted by an applied psychology graduate student at USC. The research went well and we found what we wanted to... so I took the results to the VA and the DoD to share the results.
Knowing how much the DoD spent on the last app aimed towards helping us learn how to do money good, I was very optimistic that they would have resources to help us. They did not.
Was it a kick in the nuts? Kind of...
Fortunately my second tour as a Lance Corporal taught me how to have the lowest of expectations from our shiny collared leaders.
Onward.
I guess I'm just trying to "share the load", if you will.
This has been a long, hard effort - and we still have a good ways to go.
It will be fun, it will be miserable.
A cocktail I learned to enjoy in our beloved gun club, amirite?
As always, stay tuned for more exciting announcements. Promoting the freelcpl brand is not my strongest suit (getting promoted in general has been a weak point...)
These imperfections asside, I know what's on the horizon and I can't wait for you to see it too. Keep working hard, someone appreciates you!
Disrespectfully to those who need it,
And lovingly to everyone elese,
-LCpl Brandon
