Aditya Mehta: Creative Side Hustle, Two-Sided Marketplaces & Escaping Batman's Pit - E101

Aditya Mehta on a creative side hustle, the realities of two-sided marketplaces, and escaping the Batman's pit moments every founder faces.

"One of my advisors gave me this brilliant analogy from a scene from The Dark Knight Rises where Christian Bale is trying to escape the pit.. He is unable to make the leap until the blind prisoner reminds him that he truly needs to fear death. The third time, he lets go of the rope, and he has no choice but to succeed. His fear is reignited as his strength, and he successfully makes the leap. I think there's a lesson here for entrepreneurs that fear will be there, but you need to learn to control it, and channelize it, and not be able to let it control you. Not that it will define you, but it doesn't have to confine you. I think that's what's something that you have to overcome and become brave about." - Aditya Mehta
