Welcome to Founder Fridays - a Notion founder series - where we sit down with builders who've been in the trenches to talk shop - product, design, and the real lessons no one puts on a slide deck.
In this episode, Mayuresh Patole, Co-founder & CEO of Chronicle, joins Notion's Alex Dam, APAC Startup Initiatives Lead, to explore what it really takes to communicate ideas with clarity and taste. Mayuresh shares the decade-long journey behind Chronicle, what it took to kill multiple product versions and rebuild from scratch, and why finding your "outer voice" as a founder is the skill that compounds fastest.
