Dear HK, I’ve always enjoyed your AI blogs, but this one is my absolute favorite. It perfectly captures the founders’ mindset. Thank you for sharing these stories.
As a product manager, I often talk about how every customer touch helps refine your product, its framing, and its positioning. I have a new corollary to that "Every fear and vulnerability that you verbaliize helps you clear your mind and come to terms with it".
This is such a wonderful and honest meditation on what innovation feels like. It can never be anything other than a leap into the void, and the experience is always going to be one of uncertainty and scrambling to adjust to the unforseeable. I take heart from your description. Thank you.
Beautiful share, Kartik. And so many rich lessons in there. Mindful Entrepreneurship.... I would love a book on that..... (and I represented Dr. Martha Beck for speaking for many years - 2006 to 2019)
Hi Kartik, thank you for sharing this. I am a founder who, after a pivot, is still in search of a PM fit and can relate to that part of your experience. I follow the Art of Living practice to avoid flying off the rails, which has helped me. Having good advisors is one of the most important lessons I learned during this struggle. I wish you the best of mental, physical, and spiritual state. Take care.
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story Kartik.

Great lessons for our times, indeed! Everyday life seems disrupted for most with uncertainties galore. Startup ethos all around.
An ancient practice to the rescue.. … innovative thoughts.
