Hey, I don’t know if your tanks are fuller than mine, but I can’t wait to go on a holiday.

Hey, I don’t know if your tanks are fuller than mine, but I can’t wait to go on a holiday. What changed since the pandemic kicked off is how quickly my energy level drops. After two months or so of being laser-focused and doing in-depth work, I need a few days to recharge. Ideally, closer to nature. While I’m not there yet, I succeeded in making a short sprint to put together [the first report of the Upstairs Community](. This is what I want to talk about today. Being transparent and building in public is nothing new for us at Pixelgrade. We’ve been embracing this approach from the early days, and we continue to do so ten years later. However, when starting the Upstairs Community project, we did not set any goal regarding how we’d like to talk about our journey. It just happened. Andrei and I, the guys who wear the flag, thought that it would be valuable to share how we nurture this community and what we learned along the way. For instance, we published lessons that I discovered as the gal who sparked the flame. So, if you are entering this playground, you’ll have something to learn and maybe can avoid some mistakes that we’ve made. In July, we’re celebrating one year of the Upstairs Community, yaaay! Besides publishing a book with all the stories written so far, I thought that creating a report that reveals everything behind the curtains makes perfect sense—therefore, we did it. It’s a long-form article where we walk you through everything we’ve done in the last year: from mistakes to accomplishments, from missed opportunities to takeaways. - The stubbornness around a rigid way of entering our community made us blind to a bunch of opportunities. We’re paying today for this attitude, but it is what it is. It’s an honest read about our adventure, and hopefully, we will continue to publish annual reports about how the Upstairs Community evolves, changes, and becomes better. [Give it a go](. To the North,
—Oana P.S. If you did not sign up yet to join us and get access to authentic stories written by creative people about their journeys, [make sure you don’t miss it today](. Good stuff is on its way! Why I'm getting this?
