The podcast has been quiet for a couple of months. This episode is why.
I'm building a new AI-first product at ProductLed, in public, over 100 days. It launches November 19th. You'll be able to use it while I build it, and rip it apart, and I'm sharing everything as I go, including the revenue.
Before any of that, I wanted to talk about how I'm going to attack it.
I recently finished a full Ironman. It ends with a marathon, and that's after the 3.8km swim and the 180km bike. Training for it changed the way I take on anything large, and I'm running the same structure on this build. I call it full Ironman mode, and this episode walks through all 16 parts of it.
Some of it is obvious. Most of it is not. The part that surprised me most was standards, because when you look at the standards you set for a goal, they should make the goal inevitable. That is the difference between hoping you finish and knowing you will.
Whatever your next 100 days hold, this should be useful.
