Not every idea becomes a business—and that’s the point.
In this episode of Something to Consider, we sit down with Lama Masri Osman—a startup builder who understands what it really takes to bring an idea to life. But this isn’t just a conversation about scaling or getting funding—it’s about the mindset of a builder and what separates ideas that stay ideas from those that actually turn into something real.
We talk about the 7 essential steps to launching an MVP, but we go deeper—exploring the moments in between: the tough decisions, the myths of hustle culture, and why timing is everything. When do you push forward? When do you pivot? And when do you walk away?
Lama shares what it means to build with intention, why not every business needs to be a billion-dollar startup, and how collaboration, adaptability, and patience play a bigger role in success than we often admit.
This episode isn’t just about business—it’s about rethinking growth, leadership, and success in a way that aligns with who we are. If you’re in the process of building something—or wondering if you should—this one’s for you.We hope you’ll find something to consider.
