Thanks, Lenny for this posting and insight from Hamilton. I get it. How many realty do?
I have all 7 of these Superpowers plus my earned eight. That's a bold statement to make. But I earned it.
I like the summary I call the 3 killers 1) Your powers 2) The market: Your deep knowledge of your market like a new market category you will lead and own and, 3) Systems and marketplace operations on your platform.
And the exclusive process or owned IP. I waited until I owned the tech to protect my siege capital, and ultimate weapons (s). Besides brand, trademarks, and trade secrets, there is total patent protection before you show the world.
Thanks Hamilton and Lenny. So much wisdom in this episode.
I love the “To be, or not to be, that is the test” really impactful.
I also pondered over whether Founders hallucinate over powers just as much as LLMs hallucinate? Also thanks for including the beautiful nugget at the end: "Everything is always about something else". Definitely one I will reflect on for years.
