Watching these stories is almost purely infotainment, a kind of stimulation that only gives short-term pleasure, while providing little to no long-term knowledge you can apply to building a business.
I want to try something different. I want to interview those who have failed in business, whether it was a small setback or something grand and epic. I’d like to talk with those people, publicly or anonymously, and share their stories here in this newsletter.
If you’re open to sharing something like this, please fill out the form below.
I am currently working on a meta-analysis of Show HN projects since the founding of Hacker News. If you’re interested in that, or in learning from others’ business mistakes, subscribe to this newsletter.
I love those that know not how to live except as down-goers, for they are the over-goers.
