HOW I ACTUALLY GET GOOD ADVICE
Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter
Most founders take advice wrong. They ask for solutions when they should be asking for diagnoses. The person giving you advice will probably be right 50% of the time on solutions, but they'll nail the actual problem because problems don't vary as much as solutions do. Pick a topic where you have ideas but not conviction, find 4 people who've done it, and cold message them with a specific question. Before every call, write a one-pager summarizing where you are and what you want to ask. This is the single most important thing.
