About

I run Idea TBD - a newsletter for founders and people who’ve got too many ideas and not enough time. We give out free product ideas, share public experiments, and document the messy stuff no one tweets about. Here to learn, share, and build weird things with cool people.

For founders who’ve thought, built, executed, and have users - what’s your mindset advice?

Coming up with Ideas is hard. Execution is harder. Getting users is harder still.

If you ve been through the full cycle - from idea to product in people s hands - you know it s not just tactics that matter. The mindset you carry shapes every decision, pivot, and late-night problem you face.

So I m curious:

If you ve built, shipped, and grown something, what s the one mindset shift that made the biggest difference for you?

Do you need corporate experience to build a great product in 2025?

Corporate life teaches you certain things:

  • Discipline

  • Arms you with skills

  • Working under pressure

  • Real world impact

  • Hitting deadlines

  • Managing multiple stakeholders

Some would call it a rite of passage, the training ground that prepares you for the chaos of building something from scratch.

Others say it s outdated. That you can learn just as much (or more) by jumping straight into indie building or startups.
