For those starting a podcast or newsletter, it's vital to define the purpose and content clearly, as this will guide the frequency and topics covered.

You should think of your startup idea as a good starting point, knowing that it will likely evolve as you work on it.

Many founders make the mistake of waiting for the perfect idea; it's better to start with what you have and iterate based on feedback rather than delaying your launch.

We learned that startups need to start somewhere; it's tempting to wait until you have something perfect, but you need to put your idea out there to get real feedback.

Building an audience before launching a product is crucial; it ensures that there are people ready to engage and provide feedback from the start.

Building a startup is about learning and iterating. Most successful products evolve after launch based on user feedback, so starting with a minimum viable product is crucial for this process.

Think of launching as an ongoing process; if your initial launch doesn't attract attention, keep iterating and relaunching like Airbnb did.

Making good content allows you to shape your startup's story and share it with a larger audience through press outreach, which can be a powerful combination for growth.

If starting over, I would advise new creators to produce a large volume of videos without overthinking, as the first few will likely not gain traction.
