I had a hard week as a founder. I'm building something big. Some people get it, but others (especially VCs) don't get it. This morning I thought: "Maybe it's me? Maybe I'm not cut out to be someone who builds something great." Then your email arrived. I match all 5 of those traits (almost can run the full 33 miles around Manhattan!) and that reinforces I am cut out for this.

So thank you for killing my impostor syndrome dead in its tracks.

Don’t let the self doubt and the fear win. Our brains lie.

This was a great post and I feel like all execs, HR leaders and partners should read this post as a tool to help them avoid their next hiring mistake.
