“Don’t be afraid to publish.” – Jon Brosio, content creator

“Build it. Launch it. Even if it’s sketchy.” – Marc Lou, startup builder

“Validate the Idea with a Pre-Sale.” – Katt Risen, no-code maker

Pascio, Notion ambassador: “Don’t think. Do.”
I created a template and gave 200 copies away for free for people to test it out for me. One guy donated $5 when he didn’t have to. Reached out to him personally to thank him and used this as the motivation to upscale.
Tanya Moushi, business designer: “Start small.”
