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.
Great one. Endurance sports is a huge tell for mental toughness
“I’ve never met a lazy marathon runner” - wow. So true! Thanks for this

Don’t let the self doubt and the fear win. Our brains lie.
Love the next play concept
Can’t wait to see it materialize, would love to get involved and help!
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.
