1) I am a Founder/CO/Inventor/Builder. So, I have a unique challenge. My earned title is why I support founder mode and can ignite creative development to build the beast.
4) Having a corporate enterprise strategy and knowing when to introduce it. This involves executing an own-your-market strategy as a result of CMF(category market fit) so the corporate market pursues you.
5) Have you built anything zero-to-one, seen something nobody else has, acted on your gut, or thought a problem is just an opportunity? This type of talent search thinking.
6). Besides your GTM strategy, having an own-your-market strategy by owing distribution. Then, have a repeatable or replicable strategy where one system can scale by replication. It's that simple if you develop the right components and systems. Andrew Chen of a16z calls this the Atomic Network.
Really loved this episode. Thanks Jonathan & Lenny this was so rich, so detailed and so actionable! I could not agree more. Founder Mode really annoyed me.
Being a founder is great but being a Founder who is an epic CEO is 100X better.
Founder Mode made me feel like we were making excuses instead of "choices"
Founder mode requires some humanness and humility. But only a dedicated visionary will get to market. The team will follow until they get it, or they are out. It's that simple.
It takes time for the crew to come together and earn trust. Success and survival depend on it.
I use CO instead of CEO. Commanding Officer or skipper or captain of your boat. The COs only job is to get the teams working together to get to war patrol. The boat requires crew members' total commitment to the success of the mission.
The CO is the leader. The crew relies on and depends on him for survival.

I'm not a founder, but this was still really insightful.
I loved the "going asynchronous" tip. Can be useful in many different situations as well.
The "Common failure modes" are also interesting. I feel like I've worked for mostly "Ready, Fire, Aim" CEOs mostly 😂.
It's nice to see that there are other types out there.
