The creator burned out after launching Tod's Nanaimo infusion while juggling a day job as a business journalist, a moderation agency, and community engagement through Discord. He's slowing down to rest with his dog Otis and invites people to join the Discord, where green usernames mark local Mid-Island residents and red ones mark travelers.

I hit the wall today, let me tell you. This whole Tod's Nanaimo infusion thing didn't exist 2 weeks ago. This is how new it is, and I have had a lot of fun talking with you all and setting up the Discord and talking to local businesses and making dumb little videos and all that jazz, but today I hit the wall. I wiped out. I have some medical stuff going on at the same time, which actually this is all proven to be kind of a nice distraction from. But I also have a day job. I'm a business journalist. If you're in marketing, you can follow my newsletter. That's what I do down there. I also happen to own a social media moderation agency, which has proven to be really helpful to keep some of the people at bay. I don't know how my staff feel about it, but there you go. Anyway, all that to say, I might be a little late replying to like emails and stuff like that. But the Discord is hopping, so get in the Discord because there's locals answering questions. If their username is green, they are a local from the Mid-Island area. If the username is red, they are a confirmed traveler from out of town. But I'm going to chill with Otis and the dog for a little while.
