Immad Akhund argues that combining creative and business skills is a superpower. Most entrepreneurs can sell but can't build the product itself. He says business skills are easier to learn than creating something great, and having both cuts your need for outside funding.

How do you think about that for yourself as like on one side being more of a creative person and on the other side being a business person? All the entrepreneurs I met were business people, but they couldn't make the thing. I was like, oh, I can just build this myself and I don't need to raise much money. It is a superpower if you can combine those 2 things. I think everything is learnable, like you can learn anything that you really try at, but it's a little easier to learn the business side. I think generally it's actually a little harder to learn to create like a great product than learn to sell a product that you've created.
