<p>This kinda ties into the "you're competing with non-tech people now" from the tweet yday about the Indonesian girl getting to $800 MRR within a month<br>

<br>

It's all about your idea plugged into the cultural zeitgeist and then your style of execution which is based on who you are a s person<br>

<br>

Every little thing you experienced influences the choices you make when building a product too, small tiny details that you do different that are unmeasurable but turn out to be a big reason why users like your product over others<br>

<br>

For me the easiest way to get more life experience always has been to just go travel, even better travel for loooong times, live in foreign places by yourself for months (maybe years), preferrably solo, something happens to you that changes you as a person<br>

<br>

You wanna do this in your 20s/30s but you can do it any age, it's just that if you're not single anymore, your style of travel usually changes into more normie patterns but you can still do it<br>

<br>

Go to places where few other people go, I always talk about China because so few people visit it, yet it's a world leader now in so many things, you'll learn so many things just being there<br>

<br>

For me it started when I studied abroad in 2009 in Korea, it reset my mind and identity is such a fundamental way that everything that came after for me (like going nomad in 2013, building startups, becoming a perpetual immigrant away from my home country forever) can kinda be lead to that moment<br>

<br>

Fly somewhere far for months, by yourself, if you can, and you'll get those life experiences that will change you forever, make you a better person and also help you make better products!</p>

<p>The companies I love working with in office hours are the ones where the founder has a specific, weird, earned insight that nobody else has. Not "AI for X." A genuine edge that came from living inside a problem.<br>

<br>

The ones that are dying almost always have the same pattern: technically competent founders building something nobody asked for, moving metrics that don't matter, avoiding the conversation with the one user who'd tell them the truth.<br>

<br>

The lucky thing is that 2nd type of founder can become the 1st kind if they don't stand still, they are willing to talk to people, try things, and always seek high rate of learning.</p>
