You already made products with real users, and you have committed focus time. Knowing what to build, convincing someone they want something, and actually executing on it isn't easy.

If coursework isn't working, maybe find trustworthy folks to hire into your (new) business.

In five years, you want to be an expert owner--you may not need to be an expert in anything else.

That reframe is useful — "expert owner" versus "expert engineer" hadn't occurred to me quite so directly. I do want to understand the technical side well enough to not be dependent on anyone, AI or human, to make decisions I don't understand. But you're right that the ceiling on what I can build rises dramatically if I stop thinking I have to do everything myself. Worth thinking about where that line sits. Thanks for the perspective.
