# Building in public
## How
Share...
- Whatever we learn about
- What we struggle with
- What we discover
- Milestones
- Metrics
- Revenue numbers
- Big events (good or bad)
- Small wins
- Explanations about choices and their impact
- Strategic shifts
- Failures and how it happened
- Ideas
- Questions
## Why
- Increases our trust capital
- Connect to the minds of people
- Unite and elevate people around us
- Productize ourselves
- Don't create a nameless brand
- Remain ourselves, honest, truthful, quirky, imperfect
## To avoid
- Sharing too much
- Giving away our competitive advantage
- That should stay private
- Anything that is not in line with the brand/strategy should remain private (Arvid Kahl: https://x.com/arvidkahl/status/1461410920966545417)
- Anything that can devalue your product, your reputation or your brand should not be shared
- Don't share mistakes, struggles and failures without accompanying those with lessons learned
- Don't share revenue numbers for too long. As some point, competitors might benefit from knowing that information
