518: Reinvention Causes Everything to Thrive

Everybody. This is Steli Efti. And this is Heaton Chah. And today, on the startup chat, we're gonna talk about something I popped in my head and I tweeted. Mhmm. And the statement is reinvention is what causes everything to thrive. And can we like talking about more than just sales and marketing? We just wanna bullshit and chat about business and life. And hopefully, while we're doing that, provide a lot of value to people. The world's best business podcast. Oh. Shit. Oh, shit. We did it. For people trying to get shit done. Yeah. We don't wanna give you feedback. That's bullshit. Yeah. We want you to do your best.

It's kind of an interesting thing. Let's talk about it, which is what what we would do if, you know, if we met up for coffee today. I'd be like, I saw this tweet of yours. What was up with that? You know? That's that's that's an interesting thought. I think that, you know, I think reinvention is just such an interesting such an interesting concept. See, I thought about it very differently because I didn't have the context. But to me, one thing that I've always been explaining to Europeans about one of the greatest things about The US to me is that and and The US has a lot of bad things about it, and I I've talked talked about that as well with people. But the one beautiful thing that I find in …
