1. What is a daily habit you love doing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Running. I try to run almost every day, but usually, I run 4-5 days a week, 20-25km each day. During this period, while we are all at home, I sadly run in circles and still try to reach 10k a day<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. What piece of advice would you give yourself when you started? What advice would you ignore?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order to succeed you need to be all in, understand everything from the top funnel, middle funnel, and bottom-funnel. Yes, understand business and technology. People and cash flow. Common advice to ignore: learn from other people\u2019s success. True learning is done from failures.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. What piece of content (book\/podcast\/Ted Talk) is your favorite or has influenced your life? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wow, so many. I listen to 2.5 hours of podcasts daily.<\/strong> My advice is to mix topics: technical, business, general knowledge, stories etc. Firstly, you won\u2019t get bored and second, you never know where inspiration will come from. One of my favorite podcasts is \u2018Freakonomics<\/a>\u2019, they do a very good job highlighting the human psyche and behavior. Another great podcast is an Israeli one about managing products called \u2018Product Management – The Directors Version<\/a>\u2019 – I love how professional it is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. What is the most valuable investment (time, money or energy etc.) that you\u2019ve ever made?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Time with my boys. Hands down<\/strong>. Also, traveling to customers.
Time, in general, is valuable, I lived in the agile world with the agile manifesto <\/a>since 2002 (also signed it 2005) and since then passed through many iterations in small and large companies. Since then I learned true agility has to be everywhere. Your vision should be the lighthouse you follow, the rest should be immediately viable. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

5. Is there a quote, mantra or message you live your life by and that you resonate with? It can be someone else’s as well. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just do it. Too much is spent on thinking about what will work, what one day would be amazing, what do we do if a thousand things go wrong or go right. All of it doesn\u2019t matter – first get where you need to go, then figure it out. Live the life of the MVP.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. What helps you stay motivated on good and hard days?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mix my dreams.<\/strong> Some are work-related, some are personal (running, climbing), some family. When one of them is hard, the other lifts you.<\/strong> Other than that, learn to live day by day and plan year by year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. What are you passionate about other than managing your own company? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Innovation, change, and culture. Ah, did I say running and raising my boys? \ud83d\ude42
I also learned that you have to live a balanced life.<\/strong> Make sure you have an external balancing power (or two) outside the passion that is your startup. For me, it\u2019s family and sports – but passion is a force that makes you stronger and fills you with energy. I strongly believe it\u2019s all psychological – you make a difference, you live your life – you can face any challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. What have you recently thrown away or released from your life that made a positive impact and why?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I try to throw things every week. It\u2019s such a release<\/strong>. I find special happiness is throwing away code or features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Share a failure you have experienced and what you learned from it.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not Investing enough in relationships with people<\/strong>. I\u2019m very practical and don\u2019t care about politics, but the world is full of it. Gotta live it if you want to play the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. If you could have anyone in the world answer these questions who would it be and why?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos – hopefully if I can get real answers – I think they dream huge and wonder how they execute so well<\/strong> too. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
