    In this "Lessons" episode, Charlie Feng, serial entrepreneur and early-stage advisor, breaks down what it truly takes to move a company from zero to one and build the foundation for long-term scale. He explains why product-market fit is never static, how founders can use focused experiments to distinguish real demand from paid traction, and why early customer economics matter more than long-term hypotheticals. Charlie also dives into the importance of founder-market fit, describing how a team’s skills, interests, and worldview shape the product they ultimately create. Finally, he shares his framework for hiring people smarter than you—leaders who complement your strengths, align with your mission, and eventually make you redundant so the company can grow beyond its founders

    In this "Lessons" episode, we're exposing why your relationship feels dead: You look at your partner and feel nothing. You think it means you chose wrong. It doesn't—every long relationship cycles through falling in and out of love multiple times. Most people leave during the "out" phase and never make it back to "in." I'll walk you through the three phases every relationship cycles through—and how to choose back in instead of leaving when everyone else leaves.

    In this "Lessons" episode, Robin Hanson, Economics Professor and author of The Elephant in the Brain, explores how hidden motives shape human behavior more than we realize. He explains why our subconscious is designed to mask true intentions, making self-assessment unreliable, and how studying average patterns in behavior reveals deeper truths. Hanson discusses laughter, conversation, politics, and other everyday areas as examples of where stated motives don’t match real ones, challenging us to rethink the stories we tell ourselves. This conversation offers a revealing look at why we don’t know our real motives and how uncovering them can reshape our understanding of human nature.
