Arvid Kahl: 我出售公司后，经历了一段迷茫期，随后我意识到我的热情在于帮助他人。我开始写博客、播客，分享我的创业经验，并帮助他人解决问题。这让我找到了新的目标和方向，也建立了庞大的受众群体。我发现，通过无偿地帮助他人，最终会获得意想不到的回报。这是一种无偿互惠的模式，它建立在人性的基础上，即人们倾向于给予回报。通过持续地给予和帮助，最终会积累成巨大的优势和机遇。 我的新书《嵌入式创业家》的核心思想是用户先行。许多创业者犯了产品先行的错误，他们先开发产品，再寻找市场。正确的做法是先找到目标用户，了解他们的需求，再开发产品。这需要深入了解目标用户，了解他们的痛点，并成为他们信任的资源。 技术人员不应该害怕与人交流，沟通是创业的重要环节。我们需要主动与潜在客户沟通，了解他们的需求和问题。在与人的互动中，我们会发现自己其实是外向的，因为我们与那些关心同样问题的人之间存在共鸣。 建立业务的步骤：首先确定服务对象，然后确定服务内容，再确定服务方式，最后才是编码。 Courtland: Arvid 的经历和观点非常有启发性，他强调了用户先行和无偿互惠的重要性。他的书为创业者提供了非常实用的指导，帮助他们找到目标用户，了解他们的需求，并建立受众群体。Arvid 的成功并非偶然，而是建立在长期坚持和无私奉献的基础上。
