What resources (books, blogs, podcasts, etc.) have you found most helpful in growing your startup?
I will start it off with a book I really enjoyed recently 1+1=3 by Dave Trott. I would highly recommend!

@ml_online Thank you for sharing, will check them both out! The art of the start is already catching my eye though!
books i have read are : "The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries and "Zero to One" by Peter Thiel. There are few good documentaries too
When it comes to books, I would say Zero to One by Peter Thiel was a huge one for me — also The Lean Startup by Eric Ries. Also the Idea Pioneering 2.0 as it helped immensely with my creativity.
And also I have found a lot of tips on Indiehackers.com, amazing place to look for advice.
I love Lenny Rachitsky's resources: https://www.lennyrachitsky.com/. They are practical, relevant and sourced from people who are in the weeds. So you get the deep detailed picture, not just the 20,000 ft view. :)
@paulwyn Appreciate the recommendation! But he seems to have a paywall that I am sure is worth. Will have to consider subscribing! thank you :)
Oh true, I actually just refer to his free resources. There should be a free version of the newsletter you can subscribe to. If you have Spotify, the podcast is a great resource: https://www.lennyspodcast.com/.
@ycombinator @ycombin @gal_moran18 Hi, its later. Thank you! I did not know they had a channel to be frank haha
@moonfrombuddy I can share with you a nice article that I came across at the time.

One book that is not very mainstream, but was very influential on my understanding of entrepreneurship and how I approach it. The name is - "See, Solve, Scale" by Danny Warshay.
Pretty much everything from SVPG is worth it. All their articles, books, podcasts etc.
Hope that helps @moonfrombuddy! :)
There 're many awesome books...but I would choose only one...
The lean Start Up...no doubts

4. The Mom Test - how to interview customers properly (short book)
