Editorâs Note
Hey, dear reader!
While on vacation, I revisited Eric Ries' The Lean Startup, a book I first read years ago without the right context to truly absorb its lessons. Now, as a founder, concepts like value vs. waste, validated learning, and MVP aren't just theory, theyâre shaping every decision I make.
What strikes me is how these ideas, now considered startup fundamentals, reveal new layers of meaning with experience. I'm discovering that truly grasping these concepts isn't about knowing the definitions, it's about living them through the messy reality of building something from scratch.
What's a book you've revisited or discovered recently that hit differently because of where you are in your journey? I'd love to hear about reads that have shaped your thinking.
