Because it is more focussed on the startup and entrepreneurial side of HN. Just because an individual concentrated in another sector of business other than tech does not necessarily mean that his approach and advice on startups and running a business are no less valuable. Most of all, besides a chef, he is a great business man and the approach he takes when addressing his market could easily parallel a startup. Some of the major common blunders that individuals find themselves in is creating a product that does not speak to a market. He had said in the interview that if his customers demanded fish and chips diner, he would turn the restaurant in a fish and chips diner and would be perfectly content with dropping the finer dining aspects of the business.
In terms of entrepreneurialism, sometimes that best advice or ideas can come from other trades and then making them applicable to you. If you cannot see that, then you might have a little trouble yourself when it comes time to create a start-up.
- axod 18y agoGeneral purpose business advice is easy to find though. Common sense about giving customers what they want etc... I just prefer the more specific articles on Hacker News that you don't see elsewhere.
- notdarkyet 18y agoPoint made and believe me I am usually one to question the relevancy of articles and topics to HN, but in this case the video impacted my perspective on the day, and therefore I supported it. The point about giving customers what they want was to show its relevancy, not the depth of the interview.
