one of the most frustrating books I’ve ever read… in a REALLY REALLY good way. 🔥😅👏 the Courage to Be Disliked by @kishimi And @fumiken is a dialogue between a frustrated young man and an old philosopher… and you ARE that kid. pushing back, looking for the loophole, getting annoyed as he calmly dismantles every excuse for why your life the way it is. built on Adlerian psychology, and the core idea (teleology) wrecked me: you don’t act a certain way because of your past. your emotions serve a present goal. your anger, your “I can’t,” they’re doing something FOR you. that’s the maddening part. And the point. The frustration IS the lesson — you learn about yourself through how hard you resist it!! Must-read. rare for a book illicit this type of reaction in the reader 🤯 And it’s even better on audiobook, the debate, the dialogue, really works in that format

@x founders in growth mode: how are you actually tracking your growth goals right now? do you have a system for measuring progress, or are you mostly just checking analytics checking when numbers go up? New here and genuinely curious what's working for people.

@iatnon same, the people!

What has been the best thing about X for you this far? For me definitely connecting with AI enthousiast and builders. I came here for clients, but stayed for the community!

@emaann28 let's connect! 🫡

I’m trying to build a circle of people who are actually building improving every week supporting others along the way If that’s you, reply with what you’re working on Let’s connect long term.

@SamatarRes @TTrimoreau wow this one is so real. love how honest and authentic people are on x

@TTrimoreau LinkedIn is full of people pretending they never failed.

X is full of Founders Reddit is full of bot LinkedIn is full of ...

@kzitouni1 bias toward action for sure. and the distribution part is key. really want to learn more about what works...

the best founder combo in 2026: - decent IQ - cracked at distribution - can produce content at the speed of code every business model works every business model is AI-acceleratable zero excuses not to be dreaming big.

Curious to hear from @x founders if there were any constraints that turned out to be helpful...

@mjzellinger new anxiety unlocked 😂

@Ingrid__EA How about when a check from your VC bounces. That’s the cold grip of death

Founders, what's harder to recover from? - Bad hire - Bad investor

@tristan_cte absolutely. sometimes the worst bad hire isn't the obvious one. it's when you want it for them more than they do and try changing them. and then it destroys you too 🤣

@Ingrid__EA Bad hire 100% Bad investor just adds no value, while bad hire destroys value

@Gift_O_Nwankwo 💯and by the time you feel the symptoms, the damage is already deep.

@Ingrid__EA Both are painful, but a bad hire infects the core.

@ExpatCrypto3 totally true, and bad management hire rewires the whole culture before you realize it.

@Ingrid__EA Bad entrenched middle management/ hiring too much of it, too early

@IAmSandroSaric congrats! Followed you! Cool that posting is help you stay accountable 🤝

Yesterday I was at 196 followers on X and in just one day, boom. Im now at reaching 300 soon. 🥳 I usually get on X as my journal, accountability and for getting new friends, cause building is pretty lonely. I don't have anyone around me doing the same 😊 Had over 25% growth last day, which is WOW. Next target is 300 followers, that will hopefully be soon, and then 500. Grateful for everyone following along. ☺️

@FreeBudgetMike niceee!! keep going!

Started with 0 followers a few weeks ago. Tried something new the last two days and it’s been working great!

Founders on @X what moves the needle more? - Speed - Insights

@Jashanx_gill congrats, keep going! 🚀

Seems like a good day to be on X Thank you for following me ☺️

@Swings27x sorry to hear that. crossing my fingers for you 🤞

@Ingrid__EA Thank you ! Unfortunately didn’t go as I wanted, will see the answer next week 🙏

Interview in 2 hours. CEO round. Health-tech startup. Remote cardiac monitoring. Spent the morning preparing. Simulated the scenarios. And still stressed a lot. Now the hardest part : Trusting that who I am is enough. 🏥

@Shay_Slay_ 💯

Twitter is the most GOATed social media platform, full of intellectual & mature people. Insta is not even 1% of it.

@vaaselene 100 percent

what's the most underrated skill for a founder? i think storytelling skill 👀
