Question to return to: What do I really need in this moment?
Look for people who have lots of great questions. Smart people are the ones who ask the most thoughtful questions, as opposed to thinking they have all the answers. Great questions are a much better indicator of future success than great answers.

I love the question @jordancooper asks founders- “if there were one thing i needed to understand to see as much value in your business as you do, what would it be and let’s talk about that.”
Instead of asking: "Do you have any questions?", ask "What questions do you have?"
The first almost always results in silence, while the second helps people feel comfortable asking questions.

- What is the right shape/size for this project?
- What stresses does this add to my life?
- How should this feel if it’s going well?

What’s important about it?
How do I get it?
What is preventing me from having it?
How will I know that I have it?

a great question to ask a company when doing dilligence:
"What's a feature request that you get a lot, but that you will never build?"
Helps understand where the focus of the team is
