If there was one piece of advice (beyond "don't be a d*ck") for the generation scratching their way into adulthood, this would be it.

This reads like a cold compress on the fever dream of "Elite" that so many coaches peddle while their Venmo balance overflows with folks shopping for shortcuts.

@stevemagness Your character is the ceiling on your performance. Cheaters hit that ceiling fast and hard. Champions build from a foundation of integrity. Respect for the process creates respect for the result. And respect for the result creates results worth respecting.

Success starts with being honest about one's leadership identity. The best leaders tell the truth to themselves about themselves.

Underrated leadership advantage: Self-awareness. Know your blind spots and surround yourself with people who see clearly. Know your triggers and manage your reactions. Know your limits and delegate accordingly. You cannot lead others until you lead yourself.

@ericosiu This, right here… “no hired CEO will ever match a founder's obsession”
English
The founder who 'hired a CEO and stepped back' just shut down. Here's the email he sent me.
"Eric, you were right. I thought I could hire my way to freedom. 3 years and $10M in burn later, we're done."
His mistake? The same one I've made. Multiple times.
He believed the fairy tale that you can bring in a CEO and disappear. That somehow a hired gun will care as much as you do about your baby.
Here's what actually happened:
- The CEO made 'strategic pivots' that gutted their core product.
- Revenue dropped 40% in 18 months.
- Their best engineers left because "the culture changed."
- Customer churn hit 35% when they stopped innovating.
The founder watched from the sidelines, thinking he was being smart by "not micromanaging."
Truth is, no hired CEO will ever match a founder's obsession. They're playing with house money while you built the house.
I've tried this move 4 times. Each time ended the same way - me jumping back in to save what was left.
The successful founders I know? They stay involved. They might hire CEOs, but they're still in the trenches on what matters.
There's a reason Zuckerberg, Huang, and Musk haven't "stepped back."
Your company needs you more than you think.
What's your take - can founders ever truly step away?

You have to have a passion for something to be good at it, and it's hard to sustain passion in business if you've never had real skin in the game.

Just read that Starbucks lost $30B after hiring a McKinsey consultant as CEO. Guy spent his career advising founders how to build companies, but never built one himself. 17 months later, he’s gone. They bring in the Taco Bell CEO… and the market cap jumps $20B overnight. Turns out running a company is harder than advising one.

Dear #JelenaOstapenko: This is what respect, humanity and class looks like. It’s diffident when someone has been where you’ve been, understand your struggle and instead of hating or acting as if you are not good enough, they show love, support, empathy and give hope” ~Deon Taylor

You said the thing. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The potential for profit is there, and would love to see the league stop leaning into gender as the reason to watch these athletes. It’s time to tell the story of elevated product quality, which is why these women compete. Let the memes and cat fights be the surround sound. What does women’s Bball stand for? That’s what should take center stage. The league needs to invest in a new narrative and stop letting the noise dictate the conversation. It’s an entertainment business that deserves to deliver a return for all of its stakeholders.

Imagine being an employee at a company that has NEVER turned a profit and showing up to work in these shirts.

Elite performers know instinctively that doing hard things is a non-negotiable.

Mentally reframe difficult experiences: Difficulty is a filter that exposes the weak-minded and rewards the strong-minded. Difficulty is necessary to keep the unwilling away from what they haven't earned. The best rewards are protected by the most difficulty.
