Let’s keep in touch

Hey guys, Bri Lynch here !
Your Chasing Checkers founder…. making my first blog post. I really want Chasing Checkers to be something that motorsports enthusiasts have in common… just like the checkered flag. So I’ve decided to start blogging . Mostly because I want you guys opinions ! And I want for you all to love this brand and connect with it just as much as I do . So think of this as a very informal space for us to all communicate. Let’s start a conversation .

Here’s my start : Building this brand along with managing my usual life style has been a challenge to say the least. When I started Chasing Checkers, I set a goal to do a merch drop every month. The first drop wasn’t so hard. I released one long sleeve shirt , and hand pressed each of them myself … towards the end of the month I made each shirt to order and eventually added more sizes. The second month (Feb.21) I dropped some accessories, which was a total flop if you ask me (in comparison to the previous month) . Then came March… and more challenges. I’d been out of the country for over a month so I had to start depending on other people to get the job done for me, which has been stressful , but it’s going okay… I’m just going with the motions. So now that we’re in march, I’m currently waiting on the shirts for April’s drop to be finished at the screen printers so I can start organizing a schedule for product shots… But I did get some samples ! I’m not going to lie, I’m just as stoked on these shirts as I was for the Version 1 drop back in January … I really think you guys are going to love it !

But back to managing everything… usually I’m extremely good at preforming under pressure, and obnoxiously good at time management. Things always seem to work out for me when those two things come into play… but I cant help to notice that I’ve been falling off in some areas of my “usual” life.I haven’t uploaded consistently on YouTube in weeks, Haven’t posted on my main instagram in weeks , and haven’t even attempted to tweet…VERY surface level first world problems… Yes, I’m aware. BUT these are all big factors in what goes into me even being able to run CCR successfully… and I cant help to notice that I’ve been falling off in those areas. I’m pretty busy so maybe thats what it is ? Or maybe I’m a little burnt out ? Maybe I just need a break and that’s okay too … but my point is, whatever it is … I need to figure it out , accept it and figure out how to overcome it .

I know that in life we go through phases and I’m ALL FOR IT and in 100% support of exploring it … I think it’s important to experience what you’re dealt and not fight it. After all - it might not make or brake you but it will for damn sure teach you a lesson. But I do think it’s important to concentrate and pay close attention to whats happening and potentially what’s causing it. That’s the only way we’re going to grow. So with that being said. Here’s to growth…
Be better than your last lap.
