Find a gym with a punching bag and hit that thing as hard as you can haha

All 3 options are perfectly legitimate and depend on what the shareholders of the company are looking to achieve. Want a venture-scale business in the next 3-5 years? You'll likely need equity investors, maybe revenue-based financing. Prefer to not have an external BoD fuck with your day? Bootstrapping sounds better then. If you are asking whether you CAN raise a Series A with the things you...

I use it for everything that involves turning bullet points into coherent text. Massive uplift to my productivity because I have more energy to problem-solve than to write copy (which can be as hard to do as solving problems if taken serious but doesn't have the same leverage)

Don't do a PhD

Curious - how did you build domain authority "this fast" / where did you get the backlinks from? Did you pay for them? Asking for a friend...haha

Building a solution for this right now (www.zendoglabs.com/spectr) - *self-promo off* :)

i guess you should know this as an UX/UI specialist but here's my 2 cents: - UX: the decisions that influence how users use your product or website (name of tabs, position of buttons, etc.) - UI: the decisions that influence what your product or website looks like (colors, shapes, icons, illustrations) UX makes the product useable, UI makes it fun to look at

Telling everyone Happy Friday - but grinding yourself to death

Gym, boxing, yoga, alcohol, and some other behaviors that are either illegal or legal - depending on the jurisdiction you're in

It's probably HubSpot, even though the UI, UX and pricing structure of HubSpot suck

people using it effectively will definitely replace you. i used CTP3 today to write 2 proposals in half the time it would take me otherwise. it's like a free intern. give it the rough bullet points, let it write running text, remove some of the fluff - send out

Canva - turned even me into a decent "designer" (meaning i can put together good enough ads, landing pages, etc.). What do I find most useful? background remover and editable templates (particularly the ones in which i can change the color to fit my style format)

hm, honestly, i keep the two frameworks seperate in my mind: #1 - demand: generate, capture, convert, engage #2 - AARRR framework: awareness, acquisition, revenue, retention, referral for me, demand generation is essentially content generation x content distribution. content can try to raise awareness or help during the consideration phase

The mistake I made as Founder & CEO is to recruit a CTO instead of a CPO. You don't need a CTO to build a product. In fact, it prolly hurts you b/c few CTOs understand that they need to build for customers and talk to customers as much as the sales lead

here's what i tell myself: imposter syndrome is what it feels like when you're growing as a professional (and faster so than others - which is fantastic). next thing i tell myself: what's the worst thing that could happen? usually not that much at all. and the final line of defense: does it help to worry? if not, then why worry?

it's the same whether in or out of office: show folks that you care about them

Celebrate - it means you are either in a market that is healthy enough to sustain an existing competitor or you will at least share the pain and cost of having to educate an unware market

insane drive to get a subject matter expert in the space they are building for

put the vc into sendinblue or mailchimp and mail them monthly or quarterly updates. they'll love it and you may turn em around

anything that takes copywriting off my plate is my bestie
