| 2/8/26 | ![]() 10 Big Revelations on the Road to $1.5+ Million Raised on Kickstarter | ComixLaunch hits episode 550, and instead of glossing over the milestone, Tyler leans all the way in. Fresh off wrapping EPIC #1–5 and pushing ComixTribe past $1.5+ million raised on Kickstarter milestone, this episode looks back on the road from 2012 to now—and the hard-earned revelations that only show up after dozens of launches, wins, stumbles, and resets. If you’ve been listening from the beginning, some of this will sound familiar, but with new layers, sharper clarity, and lessons relearned the hard way. This is a value-packed reflection on initiative, systems, collectibles, relaunches, people, and why finishing things still matters more than brilliant ideas. | — | ||||||
