Remember when you were a kid and just did things without overthinking? You had zero fear of failure. That’s the key to progress. So, ship that product, press publish on that post, and plaster buy buttons all over the internet. Do the thing and watch the magic happen.

My top learnings from Rahul from Superhuman. Delegate Early: Don't wait too long to delegate tasks that can be handled by others. Customer & Product Focus: Have an intense focus on the customer and product for driving product-led growth. Broad Messaging: Keep website messaging

The best reason for startups to raise less money than they could When you have a lot of cash you start to think “who can we hire or pay to solve this problem?” When you are cash constrained you just think “how can the people in this room solve this problem?”

One of the biggest things I’ve learned being a startup founder is how incredibly fast you need to make decisions and often with limited information. #buildinpublic

When you find those few believers and talk to them, it feels empowering and is all you need at the end of the day along with great customers. It makes the journey even more worth it. #buildinpublic

Now, I get to build something cool, valuable, and work with awesome people. @KSchricks recently reminded me that you only need a few believers. Very true.

I had a conversation with another investor who helped me along the way, reminding me that if I had stopped every time I got rejected, I wouldn't be doing what I love. Instead, I'd be kicking myself for years if I had moved on.

What I've Learned So Far in Running a Startup: You're going to encounter many people who don't believe in you, even those you highly respect and wish to work with. But that's okay.

Fantastic and well-deserved article on @Jason. I've learned so much from him and his podcasts. The media empire he's building is also tremendously beneficial for his founders. https://t.co/ixbSMro1pI
