🚨 URGENT MILITARY BRIEFING 🚨
Introducing the Slow Drip Squadron
For a while now, a small band of generous humans has been buying me coffee. Turns out you were never just supporters. You were an army. You just didn’t have a name yet.
Now you do.
THE MISSION
Burnout is taking out good people doing hard, important work. Leaders in our sector are running on empty, and you can’t pour a flood into someone that dry. So the work happens drop by drop: a meditation, a pause, a moment that tastes different from the rush. Then waiting, patiently, for them to come back thirsty for another sip.
You keep the drops coming. I share the cup.
Exhausted leaders get to taste what slow feels like.
SQUADRON STRENGTH
21 strong: 14 Privates First Sip and 7 Officers.
Military experts say this is far too many officers.
We say every drip (sorry I meant drop) counts.
HOW TO ENLIST
Buy me a coffee. That’s the whole recruitment process.
A one-off coffee: you join the ranks as a Private First Sip.
A monthly coffee: you receive an instant field commission as Lieutenant Latte. Monthly support lets me plan ahead and say yes to the next leader, the next circle, the next meditation.
Faithful service earns promotion.
Honours for our existing troops will be announced soon. Rumour has it there’s a medal involved.
No boot camp. No early mornings. This is the only army that runs on rest (and... well... caffeine).
Slow drip. Slow sip. Every drop counts.
Age, Field Barista
P.S I've been finding raising support for my work kind of heavy over the last couple of years and thought I'd have some fun with it and see if we can build a small dorky but freaking impactful caffiene army that fuels my work and actually have a laugh in the process.
More dorky Slow Sip Squadron updates will follow!
