Every founder has had this conversation with themselves: Let’s keep the tool for one more month. Let’s extend the contractor for another four weeks. Let’s see if the ads finally convert next month. None of these decisions feel reckless in isolation. They feel patient, optimistic, even responsible. But over time, those tiny extensions accumulate into…

Read MoreDiscovery Has Shifted, But Websites Still Win
Search and discovery are changing fast. My take is simple: generative AI is already a top discovery channel, but it won’t replace websites or storefronts.

Read MoreAmbition Demands We Get Back In The Office
I’m building a company to win, not to coast. That choice guides every decision. It’s why I brought my team back to an office. It’s why I recruit people who want to push, grow, and play at the highest level. If the goal is to dominate, convenience can’t be the north star—performance has to be.…

Read More7 quiet disciplines behind founders who actually sleep well

But if you spend enough time around founders who have…
