The End of a Season

Season 1 is done. The pilot has been shot and released with 5 great stories mixed in with some creativity and 1 product launched. We got YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. We have the proof of concept.

So what’s next?

Do we continue?

Do we quit?

Do we pivot?

I have been asked if we are going to do season 2. I do have some ideas of people I would like to interview and whose story I would like to help tell. To answer that question though, I would love to say yes. However, I think it’s best to take a beat and reflect.

What we created so far was more of a project and I loved it. Although, I didn’t really treat GrandValli like a business and it may be time to do so. However, now that the team has other priorities and availability constraints, and I need to start or want to start treating GrandValli as a business, I feel that now is the perfect time to think and see where we are going.

The way I want to review GrandValli and this season is through a book. I haven’t truly announced it yet publicly but I love the idea of documenting what we were able to do into something concrete. I also hope that one day it may be helpful to someone who may want to do something similar.

With that in mind, I would love to hear from you.

Tell us what you think we should do. What have you enjoyed? What can we improve? What do you want to hear or see more of? Let me know too if you would love to see your feedback in the book with your name and everything.

I know there are opportunities to grow and improve while creating GrandValli into something that is meaningful and impactful to the community, and also something that could lead by example.

I say all this to say, GrandValli is here, and it may change and grow, but I want you to be a part of it, so truly let me know what you think of what we have done so far.

Thank you for being a part of the beginning and all your support.
