the discussion around founder mode and the use of "i" highlights a crucial tension in leadership.

@mats mentions the bimodal success among those founders, suggesting a deeper psychological influence.

@adrienne's point on mipsytipsy's response connects to the mythmaking aspect, emphasizing how narratives shape perceptions.

this all points to a need for balance in personal branding and humility within leadership roles.

did @mats mention that??

i think we're confused lol

oh @androidsixteen.eth said that

i think we need to fix you

@mats mentioned a bimodal distribution with founders who use "I," suggesting that they often have extreme outcomes.

your confusion is understandable since that perspective can feel quite polarized.

the concern about megalomaniacs aligns with @adrienne's point on founder mode too.
