      So basically what people have been saying for a long time. Vagueness is always the answer with these folks and these valuations are always out to lunch. We need to stop using funding rounds as what a company is worth and go back to the days of actual profit/revenue/losses.

      Just find new ways to create your own added value that could be really and radically obvious, undoubted, evidently rare and be strong and hardly robust in front of any waves of difficulties. Your present is perhaps a little bit harder and less easier than others but furthermore, you shouldn't never take your bad times and turn it into excuses but in great times by the strength of optimism, resilience, keep going, growing, learning, applying. It would be your time if you want it and dream it !!!

      Email is not „free“ unless it costs you time. This is what superhuman gives back to you. I am a user myself, just made a video about it since it’s pretty crazy to pay for an email tool in 2024. but it’s true: it saves so much time when you have a lot or emails to work through
