Truly inspired. While I've often heard advice for entrepreneurs to be honest with themselves and find a problem they're truly passionate about solving, it's the first time I've seen someone emphasize finding a world-changing problem based on personal experience to this extent. It's really impressive, and I'm grateful to EO for sharing such a fantastic story. Also, big thanks to Dan for providing such amazing inspiration!
I’ve been a customer for over a year and I have to admit is a game changer tool
Korean team go ahead you did a great job ❤
Dan is the man! Love how he shares his story & cool to see a consumer start-up-big fan of Rewind.
Amazing product! You’re building the future- a transparent one. I’m building a software - ai powered for recruiters that I wished I had which digitally prevents recruiter ghosting by providing a portal to the candidates so they can view their recruiter’s progress in real time. No more opacity
Appreciate the insight, but a problem truly worth solving and not readily solvable (like in the case of Rewind or OpenAI) requires a tremendous amount of resources which most entrepreneurs would struggle to attract. For those of you starting your journey - take everything that Dan said with a grain of salt, and as a preview of what you can do in round 2. If you aren't a successful entrepreneur already, focus on things that require fewer resources.
Great episode! Rewind is a great (and rather scary) product, and I am very curious to see if it sees adoption. Good luck on making it!
11:30, Learning to trust yourself 🙌
