Great post - your clear point about how speed beats perfection really makes sense for startups looking to make real progress instead of getting stuck in planning paralysis.
Talking to real humans is the most under utilized part of marketing. It's becoming a forgotten art with the rise of social and ai. Those who are willing to go low-tech will reap the rewards.
You're not alone—compliance is every FinTech founder's nightmare. Start by using AI tools like ComplyAdvantage or Notion AI to track regulations and automate updates. Delegate tasks: your engineers can script monitoring tools, and you can centralize everything in Notion or Slack.
For must-haves, hire a compliance consultant on a one-off basis—it’s cheaper than mistakes. And tap into FinTech founder communities for shared templates and advice. Smart moves, small budget. You’ve got this!

Thanks Phil! Yes and I'm mostly talking about early stage startups. However some of the points can apply to any business.

AI and social media are great amplifiers, but they can't replicate the depth or nuance of human connection.
100%. Apparently, no one watched WALL-E, is that where we're headed?!
Revenue beats reach.
Customers beat clicks.
Cash beats concepts.
👏
Thanks Andrew! Engagement metrics don't pay the bills. TikTok fame is cool, but give me 100 paying customers over 100k followers any day.
Amen.
