The Gap Between an Idea and Building Something That Works

I’ve realized something about myself: I love ideas. I can easily open Notion and map out a full plan for something that didn't exist 30 minutes ago. But working with startup founders at NITHUB while building my own product, GigSecure, has shown me that the gap between having an idea and building something that works is much bigger than I thought. In this episode, I explore why compliments from friends aren't validation, why smaller experiments beat massive product launches, and how slowing down to understand regulatory realities is still real progress. Tune in for a grounded conversation on moving past the high of a new plan to discover what is actually true in the real world.
