The article reflects the author's journey from a personal project to seeking commercial viability. Initially motivated by self-satisfaction, the author raised over $40K for product production but faced unexpected financial setbacks. Despite considering themselves an industry mentor, the author expresses a lack of clarity about their role and impact, feeling overwhelmed by repetitive narratives in the tech job market. Instead of focusing solely on job loss and burnout, the author wants to shift towards a more hopeful conversation about entrepreneurship and its challenges.

Do we just write Medium articles? Do we talk to people and give them advice? The answer is yes, but there was something missing in my knowledge workflow.
There’s so many 'I quit my job', 'I can’t get employed', 'I am burned out' articles right now. I hope everyone is okay.
I call myself an industry mentor, but that’s a loose term. What does an industry mentor actually do? It feels vague and not enough.
