πŸ‘‹ Hey Product Hunt! Dru here. Founder of Trends.vc. We are known for reports on topics such as No-Code, Million-Dollar, One-Person Businesses, Paid Communities and more… But personal growth precedes business growth. So after 2 1/2 years of helping founders discover new markets and ideas, we started to help founders grow as people. Our new series, Founder Finds, helps founders improve 1% each day. Each issue has habit, health, mindset and productivity resources for bootstrapped founders. Thanks to Hiten Shah and our community for supporting us and sharing the best resources that they come across each week. Whether you're a free subscriber, Trends Pro Member or just finding out about Founder Finds… Would love to hear from you? πŸ˜ƒ

@dru_riley Founders Finds is amazing, but even more than that, it's backed by something that is more than a community, it's a family. Signed a Trends.VC member of two years

@dru_riley hey Dru, love your newsletter and everything you do. Probably the most high value content I can think of these days. Good luck sir!
Dru Riley
@michael_pearson_adams It's great following your journey for the past two years. (Figuratively and literally πŸ™‚πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί) We're lucky to have you MPA!
Dru Riley
@jasonacurry That means A LOT. Thanks Jason!

@dru_riley congratulations on the launch! Being part of the Trends Pro community has been a great experience!
Dan Robins
This sounds awesome, and so refreshing to see a product that is also focused on the founders themselves. The 1% principle reminds me of the marginal gains that Sir Clive Woodward attributes to England's rugby world cup success in 2003 - do a hundred things 1% better rather than searching for 'one unlikely massive idea'.
Dru Riley
@dan_robins Great video and example of this principle. Thanks for sharing Dan!
Dru Riley
@dan_robins Thanks. Appreciate the support πŸ‘Š

Love the sustained focus on founders - from helping with business growth - to now focusing on personal growth. Can’t wait to see what next is added to this community.
Dru Riley
@edmundamoye Thanks for the help and encouragement from day 0! Looking forward to hanging out later this month.
Ash
The best part about this product is that it was grown organically through the amazing community Dru has already developed so well from Day 1. Literally writing the playbook here for community led products into the future. Saving so much time learning through each of these issues with shared insights from other founders.

The evolution of a visionary product. Dru is a founder of unrivalled dedication to providing & inspiring excellence. I'm never failed to be impressed with how committed he is to this business and his personal development. Such passion is evident in the consistency found at Trends. I'm not a Trends Pro subscriber, but I didn't even think about not upvoting and commenting on this. Founder Finds is considered & relevant. I save them all for re-reading. Congratulations, Dru & team. Awesome.
Dru Riley
@mrmarcfletcher Hey Marc! Over the past year it's great getting to know each other in 100 Days masterminds. I cherish your feedback on automation, marketing, strategy and more. Thanks for commenting. Looking forward to our next chat!
Jason Resnick
Amazing addition to Trends. With the tactical value of Trends and now this for mindset and growth, no doubt will be a powerful 1-2 combo.
Dru Riley
@rezzz Thanks Jason! "...will be a powerful 1-2 combo." I don't know of anyone more qualified to say so. So it means a lot coming from you. Appreciate the support on the launch.
Jason Resnick
@dru_riley You have always produced some of the highest quality content I've read in my inbox and I thank you for that! Looking forward to Finds now as well.
Shrikant Damani
Always love a compilation of insights and thoughts of people who are trying to build something from scratch. Even though I'm not a founder right now, but will never tire of learning from the ones that have made it out there. Congratulations on the launch! :)
Dru Riley
@shrikant_damani Thanks for the detailed feedback Shrikant! "...love a compilation of insights and thoughts of people who are trying to build something from scratch." It's great to know which elements you appreciate.

Stealing Michaels comments:- )Totally agree - Founders Finds is amazing, but even more than that, it's backed by something that is more than a community, it's a family. Signed a Trends.VC member Pro member since the beginning... Trends.VC has enabled me to find a CTO for Podcast Hawk, meet people like Michael Pearson and others weekly, take part in a Mastermind weekly that brings value to me and others whilst also being held accountable through stand ups daily...
Dru Riley
@stewart_townsend Thanks for being there from the beginning! And playing such a big role. From hosting masterminds to sharing interesting content and being a consistent source great feedback. πŸ™
