It's just so hard.
I see it with so many product founders and it almost gives a new founder an advantage over a multi-time successful founder because we have too much rope to hang ourselves.
It's too easy to raise money and recruit teams against a big vision before we've gotten to product market fit, but the world doesn't care about your resume.
That's the good news for everyone watching.
Everyone has the same chance.
And in a lot of ways, if you're in a more humble place, you have a better opportunity.
So the paradox is the more ambitious you are,
that the more humble you should be and the smaller place you should be willing to start.
Yeah, yeah.
Being willing to pursue these little threads

And I think that was just a great story that they were passionate about one thing and they stuck with it.
We talked about that.
