Ideas

Most of the best ideas I’ve ever had weren’t entirely mine.

What do you mean? Well, they were born in conversations.

Shaped by debates.

Refined by people who cared enough to challenge me — not just agree with me.

Over time, I’ve come to realize that the real currency of growth isn’t just knowledge or skill — it’s who you surround yourself with.

Friends who push you to think deeper. Friends who ask, “Why not?” when the world says, “That’s impossible.”

It’s easy to get caught up in solo execution — building, grinding, planning.

But the real breakthroughs often come when you pause and talk it out with someone you trust.

A single sentence from a good friend can unlock a week’s worth of overthinking.

The best friends don’t just support your ideas — they challenge them, expand them, sometimes even break them so you can rebuild better.

If you’re lucky enough to have a few people in your life who make you think harder, dream bigger, or see things more clearly — hold on to them. Those relationships are rocket fuel.

And if you don’t have that circle yet, start by being that person for someone else.

Curiosity and generosity go a long way.

Exchanging ideas isn’t just good for business — it’s good for the soul.
