"I got to see how these leaders in industry grew up from where you guys are now as college students all the way up until their late careers"

"finding the first few users and customers is the most important thing"

"Having a really good communication cadence and like relationship with your teammates is the most important thing."

"Oftentimes you're working with very limited resources as both a founder and pm. So as a founder you need to figure out, okay, how much runway do I have left in my company?"

"Something I have to do every day is understand how these tiny changes I make in one product feature, um, affects the larger strategy."

"things are pulling you apart in every direction at all times"

"It's like seeing a baby play with a new toy and watching a user tap into that very primal side of just being human to experience your product is fascinating."

"People who find ways to win together instead of just maximizing for the short term or for your own personal benefit."

"Learning how to use the people around you to your best advantage. And I don't mean in a transactional way."

"All you need to do is like commercialize it and boom, you're a founder. That might mean meeting a co-founder who is more business-oriented than you."

"asking what you can do for others and not what others can do for you"

"always being on the lookout and ready to learn something is another theme that fueled this basically."

"I've always had to make my own opportunity and sell myself and make things up as I go."
