Awesome video! During my previous startup, I made use of the framework that Iseman has shared to keep me in check. (Make, Show, iterate, sell, grow, tell, fail @ the 4:28 minute mark). I wrote down the 7 values on a piece of paper and I'd refer to them each time I was taking up an activity in a new domain. Saved me a lot of time not going down areas that I shouldn't have been exploring (Like patent strategy, branding e.t.c). Thank you kindly for sharing your insights and for making this video, Luke Iseman via Hackaday.

Was just going to say how annoying it is that you always have to skip forward by a minute or two in videos like this before you get to the content you clicked on.

It's a pretty awesome track with some nice background graphics!

I hate how you are describing how broken my products went. My defogging device failed in front of a bunch of teenagers... After I'm like "hey everyone, look!"
*Nothing*
Ssssshhhhhhhhiiiiiiiii
