Lost and Founder

Why it matters
Fishkin's honesty about Moz's struggles, his mental health, and the venture capital game is refreshing. This is the antidote to every breathless founder success story. He names names, admits mistakes publicly, and describes the moment he realised VC funding wasn't a gift but a deal with specific terms. The chapter on why he didn't sell when he should have is one of the most honest pieces of business writing I've read.
Mike's Take (Audio)
If possible, build your expertise before you build your network, and build your network before you build your company.
