Shipping a piece of work brings inexplicable joy—so much that we learn and grow every time we do it. As product builders, we hope to get better at our craft, focus on a creative long game, and win against most odds.
One of the challenges that comes this way is the negative energy and non-constructive criticism we see on the internet platforms, which often impacts on creative thinkers whose identity is largely attached with the work they do. How should we navigate this?
Aarthi Ramamurthy is an entrepreneur, creator, product advisor, angel investor, and someone who has so many other facets. Aarthi runs the Good Time Show along with her partner Sriram, and trust me she has had a fantastic lineup of conversations with tech and creative geniuses. Their dinner table is so full of ideas, sometimes I wonder if it’s even more than the food. She’s currently heading product at Rithum, formerly led teams at Clubhouse, Netflix, Facebook, and Microsoft, while also co-founding two startups.
I chatted with Aarthi and she shared her anecdotal experiences of handling bad criticism and unwarranted comments through her founder journey, and even now as she ships her podcast episodes. Some actionable steps to navigate and keep focusing on shipping ideas!
