Spoke with an extremely talented / well networked founder friend who is winding down his company after a pivot that fell flat. I asked what's next and he had a very wise metaphor "I don't want to go to the grocery store hungry" What he meant by this was that he didn't want to immediately start something again because once you've had a taste of what could be with a startup, it's natural to lick your chops at any and every idea that sounds feasible It's very common for startups to start with some altruistic purpose driven mission only to go where the money is. It's super easy to prognosticate when the bank account is full, but when that number starts dwindling it's traction or bust. There are no atheists in foxholes and there are no philanthropists trying to make payroll. But this is not the ideal scenario and there are far more gravestones in this category than headlines I think taking the time to reset the hunger and focus on getting a business right (ethos & $$) from the jump is a great practice

Also The Bear got a bunch and while S1 was mildly entertaining, on net it's just a total meatslop of character development and plot "Fishes" episode was perhaps the worst hour of TV I've ever seen.

Look at that consistency One thing I’ve heard over and over from the DoorDash mafia that moved on is that the operational cadence isn’t even close to being the same, even at the world’s best companies Food delivery wars were as tough as they come and DD won by creating a factory of excellence that lives on

The Idea Maze is certainly not wrong, but there are also countless examples where successful startups did not start by going through it. e.g. Uber and AirBnb
