Most founders confuse growth with success—but growth without unit economics just scales your losses. The difference between Casper burning cash and Uber's land-and-expand play isn't luck—it's understanding what business you're in.
I break down why good opportunities kill great ones, the geographic depth trap that cost me 10 hours a week for nothing, and how I ruthlessly prioritize time as ROI. The brutal truth: saying yes to everything creates burnout and dilution. No is a complete sentence.
