dear founders,
build like the clock’s running out. the window is open but it won’t stay. for the first time in history, you have free distribution from social platforms and infinite leverage from AI tools. you can reach millions without permission.
the internet is handing out unfair advantages to anyone bold enough to use them so...
ship before you understand it. clarity comes from commits. half your roadmap is ego, delete it. launch "ugly". talk to users every day. build what you wish existed. best ideas are the most obvious painful. go niche. no, go superniche. vertical is your moat.
clarity comes from commits. half your roadmap might be ego, delete it. make ugly things until they work. share prototypes that break.
kill what doesn’t grow. use AI as leverage, not decoration. test ten things before breakfast. delete your roadmap. double down on what works. design for clarity, not cleverness. brand before code. write daily. post your lessons.
find your first hundred users manually. distribution is the new product. attention is the new funding. taste is the new code. build small cults. scale later. automate boring things. keep the human parts human. study why things spread. study why things die.
pricing is positioning. aesthetics are trust. make people feel something. ignore haters. build in weird corners of the internet. break things publicly. pivot loudly. consistency compounds. only raise VC if you dream of going IPO one day. otherwise, cash-flow is your BFF.
your network is distribution. your story is marketing. your design is psychology. ship like it’s day one. iterate like you’re behind. stay obsessed. learn faster. think longer. risk embarrassment. make noise. build the thing that keeps you up at night. money follows obsession. stay in motion. stay loud. stay building. distribution is an art form now.
AI makes it easy to make things; the hard part is making things that matter. build like the world’s ending in a year but your idea has to outlive it
we’re living in a window of maximum leverage and minimum permission
im rooting for you.
best,
greg isenberg
just another founder rooting for you

the penalty for being average has never been so severe, but the payout for being extraordinary has never been higher.

@emollick Not hating but what happens when your personal Jesus gets compromised and tells you to hurt yourself or others or something bad?

The negative risks from AI are real, but by focusing only on that, this article buries a really interesting positive thing: one of his students trained an AI replica of an important psychologist so it could help people at scale, and it is pretty good! politico.com/news/magazine/…

RFK Jr: “Shouldn’t we talk about the fact that we have 1,000 ingredients in our foods that are illegal in other countries?”
The two parties “don’t want to because they’re both paid by BlackRock.”
“BlackRock owns the processed food companies that are poisoning us, and they own the pharmaceutical companies that are making $4.3 trillion a year… treating the chronic disease that’s being caused by BlackRock’s other group of companies.
BlackRock owns all the military contractors—General Dynamics, Northrup Grumman, Boeing, Lockheed, etc—that are destroying all the ports and bridges and schools and roads in Ukraine, and they also have the contracts for rebuilding Ukraine.
The issues that would challenge their hegemony over our democracy are issues that are never talked about.
By the way, [the media] are all ultimately owned by BlackRock, too.
Of course, they want to make sure that Republicans and Democrats never get together on anything.”

I just co-hosted a retreat with a group of multimillionaire entrepreneurs.
9 powerful learnings from the experience:
1. Being impressive to others is overrated.
One of the attendees was a legendary hockey player named Chris Pronger. He delivered a point that hit me hard: “Being impressive to others is overrated. You know what’s much more important? Being impressive to yourself.” Focus on the internal, not the external. Be impressive to yourself.
2. Vulnerability breeds strength.
We all assume that masking our insecurities is the way to be strong, but it couldn’t be further from the truth. Opening up about these insecurities breeds strength—it encourages others to do the same and brings everyone together in a web of support and love.
3. Freedom is the real goal.
People assume that more money equals more freedom. In reality, money is a tool that can be used to gain freedom, but more often, it becomes a liability that keeps you running for more. The ability to do what you want, with who you want, when you want is what everyone prizes above all else.
4. If you want to think bigger, get in bigger spaces.
Your environment creates your reality. When you spend time in big, open, inspiring spaces, your mind becomes big, open, and inspired. If you’re feeling stuck, go for a walk in nature. I guarantee your mindset will shift.
5. You’re never too far along to change the narrative.
You’re never too far along to change the narrative. You are in control of your story. If you’re inspired, it doesn’t matter how many years you’ve been on a path, or how many people know you for that one thing, you can make a change.
6. Planning is overrated, doing is underrated.
Ambitious people place emphasis on planning. But the reality is that the people we admire just started walking—and the way eventually appeared. That "a-ha!" moment of blinding insight is often on the other side of years of gritty effort.
7. Lack of structure is one of the greatest challenges of entrepreneurship.
If you’re coming from a traditional path, you’re accustomed to knowing what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. Entrepreneurs know none of these things, but still need to find a way to thrive. The best advice I can offer: If you’re making the change from a traditional path to an entrepreneurial one, manufacture clear structure to your days.
8. Every day you start at zero.
From the most successful entrepreneur to the person just starting out on the journey, everyone shares one reality: Every single day, you start at zero. Build your showing up muscle—take pride in punching the clock and you’ll thrive.
9. The word “yet” will completely change your life.
You have no idea what you’re capable of. To find out, you have to embrace a “yet” mindset: "I'm not capable of that" becomes "I'm not capable of that...yet." "Yet" is your one word reminder that you can achieve anything that you set your mind to.
Those were my 9 non-obvious learnings from the experience. I hope one of them connects with you and sparks some new positive chain reaction in your life.
I made a full vlog that takes you behind the scenes for the experience. You can watch and subscribe here: youtube.com/watch?v=Gw-yIH…
