Arnold Schwarzenegger mastered three completely different fields—bodybuilding, acting, and politics—with one simple philosophy: reps, reps, reps. This solo episode reveals why speed of execution is the only real moat for early-stage founders. One founder takes an idea from conception to signed customers in three weeks. Another takes six months. They both had equally good ideas, but one got 100 reps in a year while the other got 10. Even Twitter, an established app, became top 5 in the App Store not through one or two big changes but 300 small iterations. Teams naturally slow down over time. You used to ship in days, now it takes months. You have more engineers but move slower. This episode breaks down why this happens and how to maintain that day-one velocity even at $10M ARR. Why You Should Listen:Why speed is the only moat early-stage founders actually haveHow to get 100 reps while your competitor gets 10Why MVPs shouldn't stop after you have a product in marketHow Twitter went top 5 in the App Store with 300 tiny changesWhy teams naturally slow down and how to fight itKeywords:startup podcast, startup podcast for founders, startup speed, MVP strategy, iteration cycles, product development, founder mode, execution velocity, startup growth, early-stage strategy00:00:00 Intro00:00:32 Arnold Schwarzenegger and reps, reps, reps00:02:18 Speed as the only moat for early-stage founders00:03:48 Why founders lose MVP mentality after launch00:09:22 How to stay in Jeff Bezos' day one RetrySend me a message to let me know what you think!
