Hello and welcome to episode 104 of Webflail.

I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Manuel Ogomigo.

He’s an impressive dude

5 months ago, he quit his stable UX job to dive into the wild world of freelancing and building products in public.

After 4 years, he quit.

And he launched Flowdrive.

In his own words, crickets.

But now, things are moving.

Did you know he has built 8 other products before this?!

He’s a Webflow and memberstack expert and he’s got a smile as big as the Niger Delta.

Has it always been easy for Manuel? Or has it been a real struggle with some massive failures along the way? You be the judge.

The failures that we’ll discuss are:

While working in design, not doing enough research results in failed product and layoff :)
Not doing marketing enough
Almost destroying flowdrive, clearing all assets with a silly mistake
