I'm probably the worst person to ask on this, but I'll add my input: I typically book a one-way ticket about a week before traveling, same with booking Airbnb, and then show up, talk with locals or other travelers about excursions, best food/experiences, normal pricing etc. This helps me get a much more authentic feel than online blogs and makes immersion into the culture much more worthwhile....

A lot of times privacy policy is required to use certain SaaS products (i.e. Sendgrid for us) - I have also read Google web crawlers will not favor you as highly in terms of ranking if you do not have these readily accessible on your site (could be a myth but I've always believed it, a very 'Google' thing to do haha)
Do you have a privacy policy and/or cookie policy on your website?

Grit, willingness and acceptance of many, many failures, mental fortitude, and willingness to do the extremely boring hard work over and over again

I've transitioned to solely using Spotify for ease of use in combination with music. Some of my favorites are Andy Frisella and Alex Hormozi (both are on the no BS, hard work train which I personally identify with)
Podcasts: which app to use and what to hear?

Of course...your brand is the lifeblood of the product. It is possible to exist without one or the other, but rarely will you see something doing extremely well without both dialed in
Is branding considered an investment by business owners?

No tools, Evernote for daily tasks / writing thoughts etc. Beyond that, just zoom and slack
Not sure I am the target customer for most productivity tools tbh, but always love checking new things out
Which productivity tool do you use?

To be honest, none. I think user testing from end users that have an organic interest in the product is much more valuable, and offering things can subconsciously sway how those users may approach use etc. If it was necessary to have enterprise eyeballs on it early, I would network my way into someone in that role and have them do it as a favor (perhaps in exchange for full access at launch)
How much would you pay to demo your Startup to an Enterprise Company?

Nothing in particular, I think it's always nice to be a part of communities, learn about new tech, meet interesting people, and when the time comes to launch (selfishly, as most would probably agree), there are some eyeballs on my own products as well for potential users, feedback, etc
❓ What do you do on PH? 👀󠆷

Truthfully never really decompress. This is something I thoroughly enjoy doing, and since we all only have one life to live, I prefer to live it in the most satisfaction/happiness-maximized way possible
Obviously doesn't mean work all the time, but many times it's just a matter of how one prefers to spend their time
With that being said, daily intense physical activity really helps clear my...

100% - I thought I was a great off-the-cuff speaker, always assuming I could do whatever I needed to get done. Until I began the sales process for one of my early projects (and jobs), I had no idea how poor my skills had been, how shy I was at certain points in the sales cycle etc.
It was only after making myself do an insanely large amount of sales calls for my own and other businesses that...

Mentors have come and gone for me personally, as it typically depends on what 'season' my life / what I am currently working on is at. Typically a mentor will come organically either as someone interested in what I am doing, was a potential client/customer that took interest, or someone in my personal network that enjoyed seeing the growth
I know some have a general 'life+business+etc' mentor...
Do you have any mentor for your career journey?

User Acquisition (not paid media until a few months down the road) primarily for what we've done, but as others have mentioned it varies wildly based on goal / what phase the product is in, etc.
We like to dial in social channels for organic reach as early as possible, so that there is a baseline level of content already there for the curious folks, and other than that its strictly user growth...
Where do you invest most of your resources after the product is launched?

Love all of these answers. The world is a beautiful place, and you should be exploring it with every chance you get, no matter the terrain. The same with socializing, humans are naturally meant to interact frequently, so engaging with (ideally favorable) people is an incredible way keep your brain sharp and enjoy the basics of the human experience! (Forget all the online stuff for a while :)
It's Friday so let's have some fun!

Not on them personally, but JPB Media & Dennis Demori are some interesting guys I've seen some quality copywriting content / emails from on Twitter. There is a whole ecosystem within this twitter community, worth getting involved IMO if there is a real interest honing your craft

As I continue working and get older, I find I get into 'grooves' of focused work. I believe most can adapt to any type of work schedule if they really want to, but naturally for me, a workout of some type immediately after waking up, followed by work, break for walk/lunch/reading, then more work until later, followed by another 'active break' with dinner, and any other passive tasks that can be...

Agree with the answers here, especially in making some type of video walkthrough (using Loom) that shows your face, shows a bit of your personality, as well as the passion + excitement in your own voice that can incite it within others (while showing them the inside/backend, and maybe general comments about why you did certain things, etc)
Subtle things like this really humanize it, show some...
