Last night, a long-time personal friend (currently a founder) called me. Over the years we've shared the highs and the lows of life; what he told me last night crushed my soul. 1/2

He's been grinding towards his dream for years. Yesterday, a MP at a firm you'd know spoke to him like a silly child playing with a toy. It made me sick. I know founders have thick skin, and this is par for the course, but no one deserves to be treated this way. It infuriates me. ๐ 2/2

Makes me think of the post how people with cushy jobs and golden handcuffs talk about starting a company but are unlikely to actually give that up and start living on ramen

Happens. When you dream big, you have to expect that some will not net it - and it can be as simple as they are just stressed and in a 30 mins call they donโt have the brain energy to really dig into it. Thatโs why warm intros are so important - if a trusted person says thatโs a good founder, you want to listen
