This was a super incredible read for me. Thank you for sharing.

The following two resonated the most with me.

1. People want clear goals, an environment of growth, and highly motivated coworkers from whom they can learn.

"Jack and Eric believed that motivated people are key to business growth. People aren't motivated by snack bars and ping pong tables. Beyond business results, what people really want are clear goals, an environment of growth, and highly motivated coworkers they can learn from."

2. Talk to customers like your company depends on it

Jackโ€™s advice to startups resonates with these early attempts - โ€œTalk to customers like your company depends on it. Youโ€™re not going to just dream up product market fit, the market is going to pull it out of youโ€ฆ If you are in the vicinity of a real problem with a real customer, they will be more than willing to do this with you because they will want you to solve their problem.โ€
