Drift is the fifth company I've founded, and I often speak with aspiring entrepreneurs and people just starting in their career as someone with years of experience building a business.
I have one piece of advice I share almost every time: learn from someone else's mistakes.
Simply put, learning from your failures is never fun to do. As John Lewis said, "the truth does not change, and that is why the answers worked out long ago can help you find the challenges of our time."
