What's your definition of a non-technical founder?

When someone asks me, "Are you a technical founder?" I don't have a great answer. First, I have a degree in humanities, not CS. I've self-taught code to be able to manage products and work with developers. I also design low to mid-fidelity wireframes, mockups, and prototypes, while driving growth with marketers to hit those business metrics. What's your definition of a non-technical...

Which partnership helped your product grow?

We work in a unique edtech space that most people aren't familiar with yet. That means more partnerships with schools and students. They've helped us validate and test ideas and features.

Reduce your workload. Do you have a not-to-do list for 2021?

I'm not old, but with the passing of Tony Hsieh, his advice felt more real than ever before. So, I've been spending a lot of time in...

What do you do when you have a new exciting idea, but can't work on it right away?

I'm sure this happens a lot to many of us. Even though I'm super passionate about what I'm doing right now, as it's our second nature as entrepreneurs, shiny new ideas pop up in the brain too often. I tend to write them down in my "write once and never see it for 6 months" list and forget about it.

As founders and makers, do you take care of your mental health?

I control every 1 hr of my day to maximize productivity. Wake up at 5:30, meditate, work, learn programming, work some more, write a novel, and run a family with 1 kid coming. You could say I'm hyper productive, but I know many of you have a lot more on your plate. As founders and makers, what do you do to make sure your sanity is kept in check?

I have seen at least 4 products on Product Hunt today, using "async" in their tagline 🤯
