Things We Learned

  • Solving your problems can help you solve other people's problems.
  • When you work for someone else you work for their vision. When you work for you, you work for your vision.
  • Be an expert generalist.
  • The most creative people aren't experts in one field, but they do know a lot about many fields.
  • Get on the ground to learn about your customer.
  • The Sunk Cost Fallacy: Sometimes it's better to move on from a failure than to continue to invest in a failure.
  • Don't tie your self worth to your ideas.
