77: Reset Your Perspective
Ben\u2019s been checking in with Tuple users to find out how things are going. Things aren\u2019t working perfectly with the product. Before this feedback, he was feeling pretty good about things. It\u2019s not the feedback\u2019s fault, but Ben focusing too much on it.
\n\nDerrick can empathize with Ben because of his experience with Level. It takes just one negative outcome to have an irrational impact on your mental state. Reset your perspective!
