What To Listen For:
- [00:00:36] At what point was not aiming big enough the problem?
- [00:03:01] Trying to hypothesize how big it could possibly be when you don't even know if it works when it's still small?
- [00:07:49] You could start with one broken argument that says, well, it's going to take the same amount of time to build…
- [00:13:37] You don't just set one goal and you kind of hang out until you hit that one goal.
- [00:21:15] It now has to be a giant business to somehow have some sense for validation.
- [00:22:08] You probably also don't need the funding to do a good job in that market.
- [00:29:26] Make it work in a microcosm and then make it work somewhere else.
