Episode notes
Parent Data Felt Like Raising Another Child
- Emily Oster likens Parent Data to another child she conceived, gestated, and nurtured into a startup with newsletters, COVID guidance, and a team.
- She recounts growing from a simple newsletter to a full startup with subscriptions, a website, and an internal team over five years.
Startups And Parenting Share The Same Tradeoffs
- Startups and parenting share demands: high highs and lows, constant prioritization, and trade-offs about what to pursue or stop.
- Emily uses examples like extracurricular choices (piano, soccer) to illustrate deciding which projects to continue.
Pause Projects When Priorities Shift
- Emily explains the need to prioritize and sometimes stop projects to focus on core work, choosing writing over producing the podcast.
- She cites Tamar expecting a baby and her own desire to let her fingers do more talking as reasons to pause the show.
