Lots of podcast listening and a few communities! I listen and consume the bootstrap/indie side of the tech startup world as well as the SaaStr VC side. I also have been watching D2C, influencers, and other B2C style things as well.
Then I try to break it down in my own lens.
By nature I try to always see all sides and am open to all roads to build better product, distribution, and an overall business that is authentic to me.
I think my diversified learning approach has helped me find the right things for us to focus on and also recognize when something isn’t in our wheelhouse. Def more to come on this front, but the learnings help me strategize where we should dig next.
I try to make friends in these areas and talk business lessons with lots of people as well.
