Second-time founder explains why being 60% good at everything is the secret

I came up with the logo, the lion, like, you do everything and just keep it moving.

0:35 / 1:34

a little bit past a year. I think founders have to be 60% good at everything. Product was a great example. I I would be on every single call every day. We had two stand ups. Obviously, not good enough to scale it, but good enough to get it off the ground. I did the UX. I did the UI. I came up with the logo, the lion, like, you do everything and just keep it moving. It doesn't have to be perfect. Don't overthink it. Just get to the next stage. I had a very different philosophy as a second time founder on on c brand. I wanted to have as many people as possible because then they are invested in the outcome of GZ.

That's product market fit. Product market fit. Product market fit. I called it the product market fit question. Product market fit. Product market fit. Product market fit. Product market fit. Product market fit. I mean, the name of the show is product market fit. Do you think the product market fit show has product market fit? Because if you do, then there's something you just have to do. You have to take out your phone. You have to leave the show five stars. It lets us reach more founders, and it lets us get better guests. Thank you.
