Do you want to know what it takes to create something truly magical from absolutely nothing? Building a remarkable business from the ground up requires focusing on being better than what is already out there. But here is the key: you can't just be slightly better than your competition. You need to go all in on being 10 times better than what is currently already being done. This is the mindset that Kevin Gibbon operates from and it has served him very well.Sometimes the misplaced step offers the most profound and lasting insight. Innately entrepreneurial, Airhouse CEO and Co-Founder Kevin Gibbon got his start in tech developing software for major aerospace players like Boeing and Raytheon. After a few years, he set out to carve his own path, building Shyp, attracting $62.1M in funding, and landing on Fast Company's 50 Most Innovative Companies list. Unfortunately, Shyp was a bright star that ultimately burned out, but Kevin walked away from the experience equipped with reams of priceless insight. At Airhouse, he's applying that insight to revolutionize the way DTC e-commerce brands scale logistics.In this episode of the How'd It Happen Podcast, Kevin is sharing how he stayed so optimistic and confident while his first business Shyp, was about to close down. He took the priceless lessons that he learned from building a running Shyp, to go on and build the very successful company, Airhouse, and has been introduced as the next Jeff Bezos. What Kevin learned is that many entrepreneurs focus on the wrong things, such as building a great service or product, but where we need to focus is on our ideal customer. What do they need? How can we make their lives easier? Focus there, truly understand that problem, figure out how to solve it, and your chances of success will be much higher.

How to be efficient in e-commerce logistics Failure can be a painful experience; it's crucial to embrace it as a valuable learning experience and use those lessons to become a better entrepreneur. Venture capitalists often appreciate entrepreneurs who have experienced failure because it shows their ability to adapt and improve their strategies. Ultimately, the ability to learn from failure separates successful entrepreneurs from the rest. Airhouse CEO and Co-Founder Kevin Gibbon started in tech, developing software for significant aerospace players like Boeing and Raytheon. After a few years, he set out to carve his own path, building Shyp, attracting $62.1M in funding, and landing on Fast Company's 50 Most Innovative Companies list. Unfortunately, Shyp was a bright star that ultimately burned out. Still, Kevin walked away from the experience equipped with priceless insight. At Airhouse, he's applying that insight to revolutionize how DTC e-commerce brands scale logistics. Key Takeaways: Venture capitalists are looking for outliers and want to see asymmetric outcomes Learning from failure and taking the lessons learned to improve on them can increase the chances of success in future ventures Product-market fit is crucial, and it's essential to make sure you have it before hiring senior executives Feedback cycles can be long, but patience is necessary for product market fit. Reproducing product-market fit requires understanding customer needs and iterating on the product Keep the team small and raise as little venture capital as possible until you have a product-market fit Avoid hiring senior executives who are risk-averse All this and more, on this week's episode of Beyond 7 Figures. Stay tuned next week when we talk about revolutionizing productivity with Jere Simpson. So, don't forget to subscribe to the show to get that episode as soon it gets released.
