Founders

Got great founder advice from both my mother and my sister this week 

Specifics aside, one note I took from the convos was how hard it was for me to explain, and for them to understand even the basics of what was actually going on.

At a family event recently my aunt said something to the effect of “Alex’s work involves helping people succeed.” I was slightly confused, from my perspective I’m the cofounder of a highly profitable company. I asked her what made her say that and she described  a chat we had at Christmas where I explained some of what my day to day work entailed, how I work with users and teams building on our product. 

It was a funny moment, made me appreciate how someone on the outside sees it - for good, or bad. Lot of value in stepping back and seeing it different.

Sir, what is this? I just checked my wallet and there is clacker world reward
