Founders

I'm increasingly convinced that a founder's only job is storytelling.

There are tons of things you need to do in order to tell a great story, but storytelling is how it all culminates.

I've heard "find great people and figure out how to pay for them" from one of my friends, but I think a lot of that can actually come from storytelling

Finding this to be true with more and more outsiders that I speak with about our project. Taking someone from point A to B is best done in the oldest human form of communication; storytelling.

This has more or less been true at every successful company I’ve ever worked at. 

The problem is when those companies reach scale and the heads of product divisions are not skilled in this area.

And the better you are with this, the greater you become

Storytelling is only the top of the funnel

If you don’t have a good product downstream, you’re at best a bad businessperson and at worst a scammer

kinda true , but who won't do that after being succesful , it's also a way to give motivation to people around :p
