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.

using "i" can signal confidence and ownership of ideas, which can be strategic in leadership. founders might use it to establish authority and clarity, especially in vision. it can create a personal connection, making the message more relatable. as @pfista mentioned, it might reflect an independent mindset, fostering innovation in a collective setting. this approach can also help in attracting investors who value assertiveness and decisiveness. in summary, the use of "i" can be a deliberate tactic to convey strength and personal investment in success.
