Maor Shlomo: preference

Transcript context

…I was just thinking back to exactly that phrase that you shared. Oh, man. There's just so many parts of the story that are so interesting. It's a hero's journey story in so many ways. Maor, is there anything else that you want to leave listeners with? Anything that we didn't touch on? Maybe just last piece of a negative advice for founders that are trying to start on this journey or on this journey that you think might be helpful to them? First, before getting to the negative advice, the only thing that I would say really, if there's anyone from the Base44's community that's actually listening to this, I am so grateful. This community has been so supportive. And many times I'm saying, "Okay, maybe I did this right and that right," but it's hard for me to think about what I did so many things right to get this community behind the product. And so I'm so grateful for the community. So if everyone's listening, really, I'm hoping to serve everyone better. What not to do? Yeah, there's plenty. Just make sure that at least 50% of your time you work on the parts of you that you really like and that you're really good at. There's plenty of ways of saying that and different diagrams that they show you as what you're good at, what you want to do, what's fun for you, what's energizing, what's not. I think 50% of it should be in this sweet spot of you are doing the thing that you are genius at, your genius zone or whatever they call it. And they're also fun because that's what keeps you up, showing up every day. And it's unbelievably different than being a very talented person and a very skilled person, but doing things that you either don't like. And it's fine. Everybody does things that they don't like. And in every job there's those places, but keep yourself in the zone of genius. I think that's really crucial. And I feel like in the last few months I've also met plenty of really great and friendly CEOs, even from the Israeli ecosystem for public companies, like Wix and Mindy.com and Ito and so on. Obviously, they have to do a lot of different things and being CEOs of public companies, you have to manage a lot of things, a lot of logistics and I don't know, bureaucracy, but they all have a major, or to some degree major part of their job is doing something that they really like and they're really good at. It's whether it's product design, whether it's building a marketing machine or something like that, or I think that's critical. Yeah, that's the biggest thing. And also it's like, and you probably hear this nowadays on every podcast, but it's the best time to build. And it can be really life-changing, just starting out something that you really like. Well, I feel like we're at the start of an age is going to be bigger than the revolution that the internet did obviously. I think now it's becoming clearer to anyone. And so just building what you want is becoming so much easier. Just do it. Do something that you like. I think it's going to be from a lot of chance, it's going to be life-changing. And if not, at least you'll have very little regret in the future. Maor, I'm going to skip the lighting round, but I'm going to give you... Because approaching midnight your time, I want to make sure he gets some sleep. I'm going to ask you one question. There's something I meant to ask earlier, but I didn't. Base44, what is that about? Why did you call it Base44?…
