The most difficult is probably the financial reliability - no fixed paycheck landing in your account each month.

But getting to start my Monday morning with a surf with my wife is definitely a big tick in the positives column!

Here's what ChatGPT thinks a stereotypical #founder looks like with appropriate accessories 😂

There's a new type of founder. A creative outsider. Equal parts artist and business person. As likely to direct a film as build another company.

Article in thread 👇

The challenge of insulating yourself from bad advice as a #startup #founder.

Discussed in the latest edition of The Wise Founder: thewisefounder.beehiiv.com/p/the-wise-f...

My intention with The Wise #Founder (lnkd.in/eEY47bKJ) is for it to deal in:
➡️ Nuance and experimentation over simplified advice
➡️ Challenging questions over well-trodden topics
➡️ Influence from outside the tech bubble over the echo chamber
➡️ Optimism and humour over pessimism and division
