@lawyer4SMBs I fully agree. Sometimes I wonder if I missed out on the “usual model”.
If I’ve capped my career potential. Then I catch the school assembly or get to be my son’s “bring a grown up to school” selection and remember…yep…this is the entire point.
@Tocelot Great guidance and a mistake I learned the hard way. The feeling you must be everything on day 1 is real. That “login fatigue” means you have to replace all incumbent features AND do it in your novel way or add your new tool. A wedge is the better way to go.
@emollick Agreed. I ran into this on a long and productive conversation. It seemed obvious I should be able to scroll up and delete working artifacts or exchanges not needed to preserve the cumulative value. At least give me some room to output a summary for a new convo. Nope. Hard stop.
@MartinGTobias AI powered, lawyer-lead Compliance SaaS for mid market companies. One client but just getting started. And hey…no email yet. How’s that sound?
@MarketManiaCa I’d be curious to see the whole statement. It sounded like he was explaining a scenario and moving toward how that could be divisive. Of course it would be… some people go with some people stay home. But maybe that was his point? Do we have the whole video?
@elonmusk As a lawyer, I can say AI isn’t a replacement for legal advice,,,but let’s face reality. In MANY cases people aren’t getting that advice anyway. Cost or
access gets in the way so AI is going to be much better than nothing. And only getting better.
10 years building @GozAround and I've been doing it all wrong.
Mistake #1: Building in silence because I was terrified of failing publicly.
Mistake #2: Letting other people's "proven" strategies override my own vision.
The irony? We're building a platform to connect community needs with resources - literally about bringing people together - while I've been hiding in my home office.
Fear is expensive. It's cost me a decade of potential feedback, connections, and course corrections.
So here's the pivot: building in public starting now.
The messy experiments. The failed launches. The 3am "what if we tried..." moments. The pivots that make you question everything. Starting with this admission: I have no idea if we're solving corporate social impact the right way. I don't even know if the world wants what we're building! But it's time to find out for real.
Who else is building something they believe in but scared to talk about it?
@thejustinwelsh I’m struggling with some fear of putting myself out there. Especially video content TBH. Do you think written content is enough these days?
Platforms monetise attention ➡️ creators weaponise fear-words ➡️ our risk radar stays jammed at “red.” Unless the metric moves from raw engagement to real usefulness, doom-scroll will keep paying the bills. Choose calm sources, reward nuance, break the loop. 🕊️
Ever feel like every scroll is a 5-alarm fire? From doom-laden headlines to 😱 faces on YouTube, fear & FOMO have become the business model of the web. I went looking at this trend of using fear for attention… 👇
MIT’s Science paper showed false (often fear-laden) news is 70 % more likely to be retweeted. The good news is humans are trying to warn each other. The bad news is, it usually a false alarm.
