Offer your wisdom in the spirit of service, not to be a know-it-all. If you’re a social media maven or an expert in delivering presentations online, and you know that the your leaders could benefit from your expertise & experience, offer to support them.

I think people waste time strategizing about what they should do, rather than doing something, making mistakes, & then pivoting. The goal of a startup should be: Launch as many things as possible, fail as quickly as possible, & then figure out how to move forward.
