i spent a summer in an operating room, shadowing an orthopedic surgeon who was the team doctor for the Dodgers, Lakers, and Kings.

in a typical OR, the responsibility of cleaning up post-surgery usually falls on the nurses.

in ours that summer, the surgeon — despite his experience working on the top athletes in the top hospitals in the world — was always mopping the floors and cleaning up the trash until the room returned spotless.

"treat no job and no person as though they are beneath you," is what he shared my first day. it has stuck with me since.

i've watched 4 founders exemplify that this week:

@vitalik.eth visiting all the impact booths to ask questions, speaking at every event

@jessepollak onboarding tuktuk drivers, joining the buildher brunch, providing real-time, in-person feedback to new apps

@linda volunteering at the FC booth, meeting power users for lunch, asking for feedback

and (surprise!) @stani carrying banners, handing out merch to crowds, talking to devs

this matters to people.

Anthony @sassal.eth is exactly the kind of founder @ted was talking about. He passionately answered all our questions on a @bankless summit, even as most people were heading home. So many things became much clearer after talking with Anthony. It was also great chatting with Matthew, the co-founder of @spire.

@devcon has wrapped up, but the new building season is just getting started! It was awesome seeing everyone in person!
