Until a few years back - Creators, copywriters and coaches on LinkedIn used to brag about 'Number of connections' This matrix has now changed to 'Number of Impressions' How is this even relevant? PS: Next time you talk about Impressions, mention time duration as well.

Last week, a founder reachout to me for a pitch deck review! While I agreed to review the deck, he insisted that I sign an NDA before he could share his deck, which I clearly declined. Infact, no investor will sign an NDA with you. Find the answer 👇 youtu.be/7U_Dj-nz0_k?si…

The best thing startup founders can do is "Build in Public." The second best they can do is "Fail in Public." Infact, failure is the best teacher. It teaches new experiences, makes you humble and keeps you grounded! To all the mistakes we've made - Happy Teacher's Day!
