TWEETS OF THE WEEK

When you find a great one,
Get out of their way
Back them wherever you can
Backfill where they are weaker
Promote them now
Make sure they know
Never let them go

If your cofounder’s car broke down and they really needed help,
How far would you be willing to drive to help?
(If the answer isn’t as far as it takes, you have work to do)

2 years or so in, our "brains" change as founders. You just think ... differently
I used to think it was due to the intense pressure of carrying something on your shoulders
I also used to think it was due to the intense focus needed to create a viable company from nothing
But now, I think what really changes is, as founders, we get very, very good at "compartmentalization"

Running a start-up is a unique mix of being present and constantly planning for a bigger future
But you rarely, if ever, live in the moment
When you have a great one -- you gotta enjoy it
