The Law of Building in Public

What this means

Sharing what you're learning attracts the people who will help you build, buy, and improve.

The teaching

Secrecy is rarely a moat. The act of sharing what you are learning attracts the people who will help you build, buy, and improve.

Why it matters

Secrecy is rarely a moat. The act of working in the open creates trust, feedback, and momentum.
