The older I get, the more I realize you can get pretty damn far in life by just doing what most people avoid. Wake up early. Focus deeply. Move your body. Eat real foods. Obsess over one thing. Read old books. Be present. Have difficult conversations. The recipe for a good life.

It is overthinking if it’s recycling the same thoughts, it is not overthinking if it’s new thoughts and more correct thoughts when correctness matters.

AI accelerates product development

One of the most powerful impacts AI has had is to dramatically compress the development timeline for net new products. Three anonymized examples from the past 2 months.

1. Series A company: PM + Sales Engineer prototype a new agentic product in < 1 week by cobbling together multiple off-the-shelf products, sell to customers, deploy this prototype at three customers, and then eng hardens it.

2. Series D company: CEO issues a mandate to build more new products in 2025 (essentially every adjacent product needed by their customers) with their existing team (no new heads) than they have in their entire 6 year history. As of midyear, team is on track to do so.

3. Pre-IPO company: PM, not getting any mindshare from design and eng for a new product they've been pitching for several months, vibecodes over weekend to build v0 of product, gets half a dozen customers to buy into it, recruits an engineer to flesh it out over a week, and deploys it at these customers, all outside the core eng process. Eng finally acquiesces and takes over ownership, and product will now ship to all customers in 2 months (vs never).

It's not perfect (eng must ultimately own it to ensure production quality and scalability, and there are issues using AI with existing products due to AI tools' inability to effectively deal with large legacy codebases), but the velocity enabled by prototyping using vibe coding + various building block APIs, coupled with AI-enabled development, has been transformative.

CEOs: if you're not seeing 1.5-2x speedup in how quickly your product teams are testing and shipping new products, something is seriously wrong.

Early in life, we were repeatedly told: “There are no bad questions.”

This is valid encouragement for beginners, but it is poor guidance for everyone else.

Most of us — even highly intelligent people — don’t know how to ask good questions (which is okay), and we never learn how (you decide if that’s okay).

To learn to ask better questions, pause and ask yourself:

- “What would I do with the answer to this question if I already had it?” or

- “How would the answer to this question change anything for me?”

The key is to do this before you ask whatever question first came to mind.

This quick mental check will reveal that you are actually asking a useless question or a question that’s mere entertainment.

Or, it will lead you to a more beautiful question — one that might actually spark the deeper insight you’re seeking at this stage of your life.

A key turning point of personal growth for any leader is when they can finally see that the mess &amp; complexity that’s making everything very hard is actually integral to every leadership job that pays the big bucks and that is precisely why they have been hired in the first place.
