Hey hotties! This week on FDCs we unpack our unapologetic ‘move fast, think later’ approach. Why do we work like this? Because overthinking kills momentum... and real strategy is rarer than people like to admit. We get into the messy reality of building without a perfect plan, how community & customers keep us sharper than any business textbook, and why slowing down isn’t always the smart move.

Hey hotties! We’re back with a little life update: the highs, the lows, and the full play by play of our Jetstar shit show (yes, it’s as chaotic as it sounds).

No prep, no script, just us answering completely random prompts, going off on tangents, and probably revealing way more than we planned. It’s part catch up, part chaos, and fully us.
