Co-founder & founding CEO @ Novo ($170M raised). Now building — solo, with AI — the small-business resource I wish I’d had when I started.

@thejustinwelsh So painfully true in every way.

In the new AI-first world we are entering, I'm afraid this pain will only increase.

[Michael V Rangel @MichaelVRangel]

@divicreator @thejustinwelsh Well that should have been true all along!

So if that was the learning; then… well… that is a more valuable insight than many people learn their entire lives! I’d say it was probably worth it then!

[Michael V Rangel @MichaelVRangel]

@Tim_Denning Dangerous to who?

[Michael V Rangel @MichaelVRangel]

@cookedbrowisdom @thejustinwelsh It’s all about whether you’re “in control” and focusing on the right things that are steering you toward where you want to go.

“I could be successful here if I chose it” … why haven’t you chosen to yet? What are you waiting for?

[Michael V Rangel @MichaelVRangel]

@divicreator @thejustinwelsh ‘Wasted time’ is a pretty harsh way to put it. I’d argue that the learnings from a 3-year co-founder experience far surpass the alternative, especially if it was painful.

You might not see it that way no, but can promise you’ll look back on it positively later!

[Michael V Rangel @MichaelVRangel]

@ItsKieranDrew 1) why has that become expected behavior for (any) event(s)?!
2) more interestingly, however… how often do you think the folks recording actually view the recordings afterward?

It’s almost become a tax on those enjoying the experience live, but for what?! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Michael V Rangel @MichaelVRangel]

@dickiebush Video games have tough levels where sometimes you want to smash your controller through your tv and/or you don’t want to continue. It’s all about getting timing the reps in!

[Michael V Rangel @MichaelVRangel]

@SahilBloom Amazing advice! I say it because I started doing something similar ~2 months ago; and the results have been impressive in all of the other areas.

[Michael V Rangel @MichaelVRangel]

Thanks Garry — awesome post!

Reading it through a Zero to One lens: even at 100-1000x, AI is still N+1 for technical folks. There was already a base to build on.

For curious non-technical people like me, it's 0 to 1 — sometimes 0 to 100. Capability that didn't exist before. What we used to hire and manage our way into is now at our fingertips — if we have the patience to build and the humility to keep getting back up.

Most empowering thing I've ever felt! More than raising $170M, honestly.
