"Advisor Update #7: 1K Impressions, a Podcast, and a Lesson on Optimizing for Learning"

Michael Pichardo February 1, 2022 Updated May 26, 2026

A tweet hit 1K impressions at 11% engagement. Got invited to a podcast. And the best advice I got was to stop optimizing for revenue and start optimizing for learning.

Hope this email finds you well.

Wanted to keep you in the loop--I've been active on twitter as a way of garnering more attention to what I do and have been able to meet other no-code automation experts.

Some highlights of January:

This Tweet did extremely well! It attained 1K Impressions at a 11% engagement rate. People like to save time and money on something they're already doing, which is investing in Bitcoin.

HUGE NEWS--I got invited to this podcast segment to talk about Automation and my no-code story. It was such an awesome experience and can't wait to get invited to another podcast. Would love your feedback on this episode, let me know if what I said was valuable to you.

Aside from that, I've been meeting new people at Miami Tech networking events and have had my head-down learning React library for Javascript (aka frontend engineering).

Huge thank you to my friend Manu for keeping me grounded on how I should spend my time. He told me: Optimize for learning, revenue is only a byproduct--it will come. It's normal to experiment with different distribution channels and usually it's a combination that really moves the needle.

How you can help:

Reply YES OR NO: Do you think companies would pay for a tool that reminded managers of their team member's birthdays and work anniversaries? This could help with team morale especially in remote teams.

In Other news:

  • I'm obsessed with learning about new software tools and found this blog post has a bunch of new ones.
  • I discovered the app Freeyourmusic. It helped automate the transfer of playlists when I switched music streaming platforms.
  • Launchhouse raised 12M from a16z's Andrew Chen. This is really good validation for the Casa Pina project concept of last summer. Cheers to the next project!
  • I was really motivated by this documentary about Cruise (autonomous vehicle company). Incredible story that reminds you to focus on solving a problem well.

Grateful for your support on the entrepreneurship journey.
