Tyler Hayes built and sold startups, then went all-in on building a mission-driven company in public. In this conversation, we break down the real “cheat codes” behind productivity and creative output, not hustle fluff. We talk about why focus beats more hours, how constraints create speed, and why audience and distribution matter as much as the work itself.

Why building in public attracts capital, partners, and talent

The real formula: content is useless without distribution
