Splash Flash #4

October 15, 2017 By Tim Mann

Splashdate: October 14th, 2017:

We’re taking a big step on October 16th; we’re launching our IndieGogo crowdfunder! We’re going to see if all the people we’ve helped out over the last ten years are ready to pitch in and help us launch our next project: the Splash project.

It’s scary to ask for what you want; people might say “no”, then you get to deal with the feeling of rejection that brings. Nobody likes to feel rejected.

But as my wife Susanne has pointed out numerous times: “The physiological events and the experience of extreme excitement in your body are exactly the same as those for extreme fear: elevated heartbeat and breathing rate, adrenaline rush, dilated pupils, etc”.

In other words: it’s difficult to tell the difference between excitement and fear sometimes. And we’re excited about this new boat project!
