I wrote that down “what’s the most important thing you could be doing right now?” I’ll use that question in every area of my life moving forward so I can always focus on what’s going to bring the most benefits and impact towards that specific area. That is indeed a great question to ask yourself often. Thank you for sharing your story and experience with us, much appreciated.
The worst decisions are made by oversimplification of life. Life is complicated and we’re the product of our decisions. So those motivational snippets might lead to a disaster. Questions followed questions until the point you can’t literally give any sane answers. Such as: what’s the important thing I could be doing? Short term? Sit straight and drink water. Long term? Give your parents a call. Then you find yourself as working for your bills
Stepping down to allow someone more passionate and a better fit for the role is so incredibly rare...especially in Silicion Valley that filled with so many egos and emphasis on titles. This was the most impressive segment I've seen in a while... Thanks for posting!
Incredible! It's quite rare to find a combination of self-awareness, sharpness, ambition and humility. Stepping up and down as necessary. Be like Sisun!!
"I think great things are never built by people who knew how do things all along, but by those who have the resilience and grit to try, fail, and iterate towards their mission". That's give me more hope now, I am on my way to start my first startup. Thanks for sharing
Super inspiring! Great things are never build by people who knew how to do things all along, but by those who have the resilience and grit to try, fail, iterate towards their mission.
Awesome to watch... i also had similar experience, but i worked most as consulting innovation in different companies to find or build new products or ways to sell or make new designs. They all had the times to rebuild them self to stay in the market. I love my work, because its always a challenge to help companies like yours. I think its total "normal" that a challenge is always a chance, and that only hard work can build something what we customers love. In the same time, I learned that's unbelievable important to have a clear written down vision, were you want to stay in 15 years with the company. Otherwise companies often lose their target and run in a circle. Many companies don't have a vision. They only have a mission = mission statement. But this is not enough. I enjoyed watching this "interview". Always nice and helpful to learn from other peoples mistakes and learning and mix it with own experience.
This changes my perspective on PMs because the ones that I have seen only schedule meetings and assign tickets that the software developers create, like they don’t do that much
Wow that's inspirational. Although I do think he got really lucky on the journey. Meeting the right people combined with a sense of curiosity in the projects he was doing.
Yes the right person with enough motivation coupled with exceptional opportunities, has a high chance of getting great results. There ar epeople doing what he is doing and you won't hear about them because they are failing, going bankrupt, struggling etc, you only hear the success stories
🤘Thank you Sisun for sharing your story. Can’t wait for you to talk about Xoju and Ramper in the next episode. Some questions I would like to ask in person: Xoju seems like a business that marketing and branding is so crucial, so how come you start such business when you’re not interested in marketing? Also what led you to Ramper (of all the different services and projects in Web3, why web3 SDK?)
It's easy to say "let's keep on trying", but let me ask, "Who is going to pay for all these failures ?" At the end of the day, it's all about the amount of money you have to sustain you through all these failures. A CEO's job for a start-up it's actually very simple...."begging for money". If you somehow can beg someone to give you lots of money, then you can afford to have more failures, but if no one gives you the money, there will be no trying for failures, no matter how much tenacity you have. It's all about the $$$$.
Key Takeaways: 1. As PM, always ask "what's the most impactful thing you can do at the moment"? 2. Discover arbitrage opportunity - existing hangover recovery products in South Korea and other countries in Asia, and bring that back to silicon valley 3. It's less about how smart you are, but the grit you got.
@@entreprenuership_opportunities sorry, no I mean - when is it coming? It says 1/2 in the title. Really enjoyed this one, so was wondering when the next one is coming out?
Whole bunch of nothing learned from this except that once your company starts making a decent amount of money, you're probably going to sell it/make someone else do your work.
