a couple quotes that stick out:
“it’s important to remember that entrepreneurship isn’t a "right time, right place" kind of thing. You have to create your own chances. Importantly, chance favors action.
“in the end, the less i spoke about the technology and more about what it could do…the more demos i booked.” applying this right now to my annual work evals 😮💨

gazdecki says to build as much as quickly as possible, similar to how angel investors operate. this is in opposition to what rob walling says on the most recent episode of Startups for the Rest of Us (ep 782)
gazdecki also says that you should stay away from VCs b/c your customers should be where you make money and should help drive building a great product -- which I agree with! I don't understand the VC hype
