How To Make Your First Million With AI - Raj Singh And Harry Sardinas

How To Make Your First Million With AI - Raj Singh And Harry Sardinas Most founders aren’t failing because they can’t build — they’re failing because they keep building the wrong things. Raj Singh, VP of New Products at Mozilla, works at the frontier of product innovation where AI has radically lowered the cost of creation. But in this new era, the real constraint isn’t code — it’s clarity, judgment, and distribution. The uncomfortable truth: in a world where anyone can build anything, taste and distribution separate winners from noise. Here’s the new operating system for founders in the AI era: 🚀 Build less — remove everything that doesn’t directly drive user value 🎯 Choose sharply — what you don’t build is now a strategic advantage 📣 Think distribution first — if no one sees it, it doesn’t exist 🧠 Develop taste — clarity of judgment beats feature quantity ⚡ Move faster than certainty — speed compounds while others hesitate 💰 Learn to sell early — code without customers is just expensive art The next generation of wealth won’t be built by the best builders — but by the clearest thinkers who know what not to build.About The Guest: Raj is the VP of New Products at Mozilla, leading new 0 to 1 product initiatives.
