My husband and I quit big tech last year. One of the reasons was that we wanted to experience more with our kids.
In the last 12 months after we quit, we together visited 6 countries in 3 continents. We were there for every jujitsu class and every gymnastics practice.

If you’ve worked at Amazon, you know every department is one of Bezos’ bets. And Bezos famously said, he was willing to give a bet 7 years to try.
If Bezos did not try AWS, now Amazon would look like a non profit by now, with the only retail business.

The more I build and ship on the internet, the more I realize that you should not delay shipping.
Internet products take time to snowball. Even you have a page saying “coming soon”, it is more helpful than nothing.

Gumroad has all the tools creators need to sell their products except one thing (maybe by design): find your customers.

My favorite quote: “In reality it was the scarcity and struggle in your life that made you who you are today.”
We give our children everything we can so that they don’t have to go through what we went through and then we complain when they don’t value and appreciate what we appreciate. In reality it was the scarcity and struggle in your life that made you who you are today.

To publish books on Kindle and Paperback with a MacBook, I have tried:
- Kindle Create (too buggy)
- Google Doc (too basic)

I think life is not about learning one set of skills. Otherwise I would miss many I have not yet known but I would love.
I started as a engineer, but I fall in love with finance.
I studied EE in school, had software jobs, and ran a hardware/AI startup.
But I write a wide category of topics - startups, entrepreneurship, investing, software and hardware, manufacturing, and reading.
Your degree and your job do not prevent you from learning other domains.
