"Just Make Things"

From side projects to startup traction, Asis shares why being a maker is the best way to learn, grow, and eventually build something that sticks

In this insightful conversation with Asis from Glazed, we explore what it takes to build a startup from scratch, how to stay grounded during unpredictable growth, and the role of personal projects, mindset, and endurance in making your own opportunities.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The unexpected power of “just starting” and building small things

  • Why vibe coding is exciting but still early

  • How Asis and his co-founder balance ambition with mental health

  • Glazed’s mission to become the go-to analytics tool for designers

  • What finding product-market fit feels like behind the scenes

Key Takeaways:

  • Prototypes > Promises: Talking isn’t testing — you learn by doing.

  • Start scrappy: Asis didn’t “found a company” until he realized he’d already done so many things that resembled one.

  • Mental stamina matters: Treat startups like an endurance sport.

  • Vibe coding is great for prototyping, but not ready for prime-time scale.

  • Glazed is on a mission: To make data accessible and intuitive — not just for analysts, but for the designers shaping user experience.
