Daniel Fazio lives in Tampa next to his business partners and says proximity accelerates learning by 10 to 20 times. He recommends joining a community of people doing similar work if you can't live near yours, since rapid feedback on experiments and mistakes speeds up progress dramatically.

"10 times, 20 times faster."
The importance of simply being around people who are doing what you're doing. And I'm lucky enough to live in Tampa, where I literally live next to my business partners. But not everybody has that opportunity. So the next best thing you can do is to join a community of people doing what you're doing. And the reason why that makes so much sense is because these people are operating, they're doing things, they're trying things. And what happens is when you have a whole group of people who are trying new things, constantly, consistently, you get the feedback on their mistake and what worked. So you get instant access to what worked. So it accelerates you not just like 20%, 30% faster, like legitimately 10 times, 20 times faster than you otherwise would go.
