A reminder that one of the oldest startup lessons still holds: get out of the building and meet your customer.
Get out of the building and try to meet your customer. It is one of those lines that has been repeated so often that it risks sounding generic, but it stays true for building almost any business.
There is only so much clarity you can get from internal discussions, dashboards, or assumptions made from a distance. The sharpest understanding still comes from direct contact with the people you are building for.
I like doing this because customer conversations have a way of cutting through noise. They bring you back to what is actually happening in the world instead of what you think should be happening.
