Jam + Product Hunt global AI night is off to the races!! First up, Neha Kalani demoing pictory "We don't worry if it's possible or not. We'll find a way to make it happen." Amazing.⚡️

At #DevLearn — a face-off going on between different AI tools. 80% of the users at this session are using GenAI tools regularly for their work. #pictory

Partyrock.AWS looks very cool. You can build AI enabled apps with a bunch of widgets.. just learned about it at #DevLearn #pictory

At #devlearn learning a ton with Marc Gawith

The power of YouTube in informal learning. #DevLearn pictory DevLearn

Just learned at #DevLearn that the first book published on the Gutenberg Press that became a bestseller was called the Hammer of Witches. It led to a big witch hunt and mass murder. The first mass misinformation campaign! Thanks Kara Swisher

You think you’ve hit product-market fit… until you realize you haven’t. 🚫 Early traction ≠ PMF. At pictory, conversions slowed. We pivoted customer + GTM → growth unlocked. PMF isn’t a finish line, it’s a moving target. What signs told you to pivot vs persevere?

I wish I knew about Ikigai this earlier. Founder burnout rarely comes from cash. It comes from optimizing for the wrong 2 things. I chased what I was good at + what paid. Looked great. Felt empty. Build toward all 4: good at, love, paid, needed. Which one are you ignoring?

15 years of meditation. Founders always ask: “What’s the ROI?” It’s not a hack. It’s mental muscle. I’m more present. Less defensive. Calmer in chaos. Not because it made me a better founder. Because it made me a more grounded human. What’s your non-negotiable?

Hot take: remote vs office is the wrong debate. Remote is for deep work. In-person is for alignment. We just did both at Pictory. The energy changed everything. Not better. Different. Build the right mode for the right job.

Most founders treat values like wall art. Ours became a survival sequence. Year 1: Curiosity Year 2: Speed Year 3: Data Then: Respect + openness What saves you early can sink you later. What stage is breaking your company right now?

Busy founders “find time” to volunteer because it keeps you human. I spent a Saturday teaching teens to code at a YMCA hackathon. Exhausting. Fulfilling. No founder gets here alone. Who helped you when you were starting out?
