Today, one person can build a focused product for a very specific group and make the math work.

What do you do regularly?
Where do you show up, what do you publish? Who do you ask, and what do you answer to? What gets better because you persist?
Are there systems you support or work to change?
What do you do when you don’t feel like it? Especially then.
