A Product Market Fit Show | Startup Podcast for Founders
00:41:14 · Pablo Srugo, Dane Atkinson
[00:41:14] S1: The last question here is, and especially for you having done as many startups as you did, being part of so many journeys, what would be some of your most important, most common advice for early stage founders that are right now in the trenches, trying to find, let’s say product market fit? [00:41:32] S0: There’s a lot to them and I keep a journal. But I’d say for the early stage founder, understanding their own why, why they’re there, who they’re trying to help, what they could see the world as, because that will help provide the fuel source, because It is a gnarly, as you know, it’s such a hard job. It teaches you so much. It offers so much reflection, opportunity to grow, but you need a source of fuel. The more you continuously connect to, I want to make that person’s life better. I want to make the planet better, or whatever it may be, actually more you will fuel yourself, and thus the people around you, and thus your customers. It can get lost. Or sometimes it’s not always bad, but I’ve known plenty of founders like, I want to be rich. It’s actually not the worst thing. There are plenty of rich people who want to be rich, and that’s how they got rich. But then just be honest with it, like, I’m here to – whatever it is. Try to find that center to yourself. It really does work in the long-term. [00:42:26] S1: Perfect. We’ll stop it there, Dane. Thanks so much for being on the show. It was an amazing episode. [00:42:30] S0: Thanks, Pablo. I really enjoyed it, and thanks for doing these things. They help the world.

[00:42:30] S0: Thanks, Pablo. I really enjoyed it, and thanks for doing these things. They help the world. [00:42:35] S1: If you listened to this episode and the show and you like it, I have a huge favor to ask for you. It’s actually a really small favor, but it has huge impact. But whichever app you’re listening to this episode on, take it out. Go to a product market fit show and leave a review, please. It’s going to help. It’s not just going to help me to be clear. It’s going to help other founders discover this show because the algorithms, whether it’s Spotify, whether it’s Apple, whether it’s any other podcast player, one of the big things they look at is frequency of reviews. It’s quantity of reviews. The reality is if all of you listening right now left reviews, we would have thousands of reviews. Please take literally a minute. Even if you’re just writing like, great podcast, or I love this podcast, whatever it is, just write a few words. Obviously the longer the better, the more detailed the better. But write anything, leave 5 stars, and you will be helping me, but most importantly, many other founders just like you discover the show. Thank you.
