What happened
Today, I challenged the belief that I’m “not experienced enough.”
Instead of waiting until I felt more qualified, I reached out to people whose work I genuinely admire—podcasters, DevRel professionals, and engineers who have expanded beyond engineering into product building, GTM, and content.
I introduced myself, shared the AI projects I’ve built, explained what I’m currently learning, and asked if they’d be open to a conversation.
Most didn’t reply.
One did.
Tomorrow, I’ll be speaking with Naman for 30 minutes to learn from his journey and exchange ideas.
What I learned
You don’t need to be 100% ready before reaching out.
The biggest rejection often comes from yourself.
Give people the chance to say yes or no.
Sometimes, one genuine message is all it takes to create a new opportunity.
Tomorrow: Another uncomfortable challenge.
