The Elon advice section nails somethng most founders miss: creating real value before extracting it. I've seen too many startups optimize for revenue capture before they've built anything people genuinely need, which leads to churning through customers instead of compounding retention. The efficiency paradox piece is also spot on, dunno how many times I've seen teams automate themselves into building a ton of mediocre tooling instead of focusing on core product diffrentiation.

Wise words indeed! The best founders are obsessing about customer/prospects pain(s) and building around what they find, discover, extract. It's not a selling mindset. It's a deeply curious questioning mindset ✅

Proof beating promises feels like the real theme running through all of this.

I really like your take on... rebradning...we're seeing a lot of "narrative-market fit" lately where people are just putting a fresh coat of paint on old problems instead of actually fixing the fundamentals.
