@sama Hey Sam - thanks for taking the time :) I recently asked @justinkan "If you were to recommend things do to/habits/etc in order for someone to be equipped enough to advise startups, what would you recommend?" He said "Start a successful startup" - I know this is a common answer with a lot of people but other than that what else would you recommend?

@bentossell Why do you want there to be answer other than that? The best way to learn how to do something is usually to do it yourself first.

@sama Because it's not the only way. Many people in the industry don't whole heartedly agree with the statement either.

@bentossell @sama There are indeed good investors who have not been operators themselves. One example would be industry expertise.
