As of midnight on Friday, our Regulation Crowdfunding offering officially ended. It was a huge success that took an entire team effort. I wanted to take a quick second to thank every team across the company for your impact on our Reg CF campaign.

From all the creative and design work that the Creative Team put into our investment page and countless emails that went out to potential investors, to Ops for taking some hard calls and answering tons of emails, and Finance for doing all of the tedious legwork to even get our campaign started. Literally, this was an entire team effort that everyone took part in for the mutual benefit of the entire company.

Big projects like these can be stressful and all consuming, but at the end of the day, this is a perfect example of what makes SlideBelts the awesome, successful company we are. No one cares where the credit goes, as long as we're all working together to reach goals that feel unreachable at the beginning. Thanks for exemplifying what it means to work together as a team - proud to have raised such an incredible amount of money alongside each of you!

Happy Thursday, team!

Today I want to share with you one of my favorite quotes from Bruce Lee:

"Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend."

Water is flexible in many ways and can basically take the shape of anything it encounters. Sometimes we can overlook the fact that water is abundant in this world and is the center of all living things - about 71% of the Earth's surface is covered in water and the human body is made up of 50-75% water.

Over time, stress and anxiety can put constraints on us and prevent us from reaching our full potential if they are not handled correctly. It is important to take time to address and maintain our stress levels. By freeing our minds and being more flexible, we can be like water, too, and have the adaptability to face any challenges.
