I keep seeing Sam Altman tied to clickbaity 'How-to' articles, but never managed to apply any of the lessons to start and grow a successful company himself. Obviously from his position now, he has a lot of insights into what other companies do, so It'd be great to see factual data from his insights, rather than top-down advice that he wasn't able to apply to his own career.
That's actually the beauty of it if you ask me. Most of the companies that are now giants, didn't use 'this one weird trick'. Rather, they used proven methods like listed out. The 'trick' if you will, is to have a great product & hustle your ass off.

As well as the Saastr podcast. Full of gems on how to sell.
