Monetizing taste / curation feels under explored as an idea

Taught myself iOS dev and SwiftUI over a weekend with ChatGPT & now using Cursor to successfully build an entire app for my startup. Can't think of any other tool that's upgraded my human capabilities as much as GPT4. All you need to build the future is motivation.

Some of my biggest surprises when researching paths to PMF for top B2B companies: 1. If you build it, they *will* come—if you have strong product-market fit.

As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.

Focus, as Steve Jobs said, is about saying no. The only dangerous competitors are focused ones. Ergo there are things that even the most dangerous competitors say no to, and it would be worth thinking explicitly about what those are.

Jony Ive on what Steve Jobs taught him about the power of focusing: “Focus is not this thing you aspire to…or something you do on Monday. It’s something you do every minute.”

Focus is good. But so is following your enthusiasm. All my most valuable work has happened when I wasn’t doing what I was “supposed” to be doing. No easy answers here, but I do think enthusiasm is more important than most people realize, and should be taken more seriously.
