I’m incredibly grateful to Charles for his guidance and support. He demystified customer discovery calls and gave me the confidence to reach out to people to uncover truly underserved needs. Charles’s advice on choosing a co-founder was spot on and helped me navigate one of the most critical early decisions. He also generously shared his own experiences around building products and managing teams, which made his guidance practical and grounded in reality. His mentorship call had a lasting impact on how I approach building products.
