You're either not hiring at all or it's probably your single biggest block of time.

Firing people is one of the worst parts of running a company. Actually in my own experience, I think it is the worst.

You want to sound crazy, but you want to actually be right.

Everyone starting a startup for the first time is scared, and everyone feels like a bit of an imposter.

What being a founder means, is signing up for this years long grind on execution - and you can't outsource this.

A third advantage of mission oriented companies, is that people outside the company are more willing to help you.

Before 20 or 25 employees, most companies are structured with everyone reporting to the founder. It's totally flat.
