I think one really important thing people need to be better at is choosing who they listen to. Gary Vaynerchuk is a social media star. He has about as much advice to offer a tech startup as Jake Paul. Now Jake Paul at least has the decently not to claim to be able to offer advice to Tech startups. It's like listening to Ashton Kutcher about how to do Venture Capital, if you want to do VC like Ashton Kutcher then step 1 is be a fucking movie star (it's also how you end up on a sofa next to Adam Neumann being very vague about what your financial interest in WeWork). It's also true that even real entrepeneurs are speaking publicly for PR and so they're saying what they think they should say rather than actually what they think (or atleast to some extent self-censoring). It's important to really be critical about what you're hearing from these people, especially people you idolize.
