Inspirations
Read
"The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers" by Ben Horowitz
This month's must-read recommendation comes from our team, and it’s a book that every entrepreneur should have on their shelf. "The Hard Thing About Hard Things" by Ben Horowitz provides raw and real advice on the challenges of building and running a business. Horowitz, a successful entrepreneur and venture capitalist, doesn’t sugarcoat the truth—he dives into the gritty, uncomfortable moments that come with leadership and decision-making.
Unlike many books that focus on success stories, this one is packed with practical insights on handling failure, making tough calls, and navigating the unpredictable reality of entrepreneurship. It’s an invaluable read for anyone looking to build resilience and lead with confidence in an uncertain business world.

We realized that we worked on this project a while ago but never shared it—until now! We had the pleasure of teaming up with the talented crew at Studio Kettle from Melbourne to create a series of engaging animations for Tenants Victoria. The project focuses on helping renters understand their rights, and responsibilities, and how to protect their bonds for a fair return. With a playful and visually captivating collage animation style, we brought these important messages to life in a fun and accessible way.
