How much time do you give an idea?
Use timeboxing. The idea is "dead by default". - @ShaanVP
In #IdeaLab, Shaan, @mickbirch and team used timeboxing of 6 weeks. At the start before emotional attachment, create metrics to create accountability and honest benchmarks.

Or build for yourself.
Passion is not romance. It's an itch you want to scratch for yourself... it is your perception of how the world should be. Today the world is X, you see it as Y... turn it into Y.
E.g.
Facebook - Mark Zuckerberg
Discord - @jasoncitron @svishnevskiy

What should you do next after you have a successful exit?
It is sad when something comes to an end. The team you have worked well with and a change of culture.

Shaan's v busy but loves creating. With the success of @myfirstmilpod with @theSamParr. How does he deal with it?
Finding a good Operator, the amazing @benmlevy who manages the Twitter & brings out the gold nuggets. That way Shaan can stay focused on the tasks he excels at.

He showed Hustle & Value. Found projects they were working on, jotted painpoints, made mockup & show
4 months later he became CEO.
