Co-founder @bountycaster (bountycaster.xyz). Co-producer @ethereumfilm. Previously co-founder of Scalar Capital and product at Coinbase

at what moment did you realize you wanted to stop investing full time to be a founder?

what has surprised you most about the founder journey so far?

A few years in

I had some exposure to what it's like to be a founder with starting a fund interacting with a lot of founders + married to a founder but didn't really fully internalize how hard it was to manage taking care of myself even if I prioritize it

feel you 100%

any tactics or tools that have helped you take better care of yourself?

Fitness

I've always had major insomnia and since starting Bountycaster it only got worse to a point where a couple weeks ago I had to make it my #1 priority to improve since I was so sleep deprived. What's been working well for me (in order of helpfulness)

- just go to sleep earlier (set a cutoff), always endless work as a founder that can keep you up really late
- not taking long naps to catch up on sleep during the day
- don't eat past 8pm
- more cardio
- write down all things worried about before sleep so it's out of mind
- reduce screen time right before

I ramped up exercising to almost daily now since I need it to manage stress and this is what I've been doing for sleeping

love this! especially writing down worries before sleep

i used to do morning pages (long form brain dump for 30min) and felt the same relief / open mind for the day ahead

now i do the same thing sporadically

whenever i have an overwhelming worry, i...
- stop what i'm doing
- grab a piece of paper
- get thoughts out
