Tell the Ceo to stop allowing scammer sellers on platform. If there's video evidence, sellers should be banned. Permanently. Just look what happened to the kaboom. Sellers never ship cards just list in Florida area of ebay

The CEO Role is Overwhelming and Lonely: Naval emphasizes that the CEO has a taxing set of responsibilities, from managing people to driving strategy, which can lead to burnout, especially for introverted founders. Zone of Genius Concept: Founders should focus on their unique strengths ("Zone of Genius") rather than trying to excel in every aspect of running a company. Delegating non-core responsibilities helps keep their focus and energy intact. People Management Isn't for Everyone: Naval admits he found people management exhausting and felt better suited to roles involving intellectual work and creative thinking, rather than extensive operations. Delegate, Don't Dictate: Rather than controlling every detail, founders should bring in talented operators or CEOs who excel in the areas they dislike, allowing them to focus on high-level strategy and creativity. Founder’s Value Goes Beyond Operations: A founder’s ongoing value comes from maintaining a vision and providing creativity rather than from being involved in daily management tasks. Recruiting Capable Operators: Naval recommends hiring CEOs who are former founders or proven operators, especially those who may have failed due to market factors outside their control, as they often bring strong skills and determination. Freedom Fuels Creativity: Freeing up time in his schedule allowed Naval to remain creative and spot new opportunities, such as the idea of rolling funds, which emerged after he had stepped back. The Importance of Flexibility for Founders: Naval emphasizes the importance of having a flexible schedule, allowing founders to spend time

The one advantage he had in finding these ppl to helm his business is access. They didn't just fall out of the sky into his lap and he didn't just happen upon them at a sports bar, networking event or while picking up the morning paper in the driveway--SO! With (that) all said, how can the *non* (connected) do that? Where do they look for an temp CEO❓️🤔

How do I contact Grant LaFontaine ? I tried to open flawed items rtn case and denied, not even looked at it

God access to a slack channel like the ones with the superstar engineers stream of thoughts (or frankly just any really good engineer) would be such a blessing to the world

4:35 Naval talking about founder mentality “founder mode” before it was cool

This is a lost opportunity to get more nuanced insights from the founder. Should have asked better ques

Wow very educative conversation between you guys thanks ❤

Thanks! Gonna create a company wiki today

Grant lafantain why does whatknot think they cant fix the screw ups with my orders and then take it out on me i believe you have lost me a customer and ans seller because i will be a part of the shady scames

Whatnot is a scam - they knowingly allow sellers to sell 1:1 or 0:1 dupes of sneakers, clothing, luxury goods, makeup/skincare… they are absolutely silent. They refund the few people who notice and knowingly continue profiting off the ill begotten gains of their fraudulent sellers. They made it harder to report and get refunded once this started coming to light, but they also resell returned counterfeit goods to the sellers to filter back through the system. There’s mass corruption and this video is embarrassing.

Although, Clipboard pays well. I disagree with their policies. There’s no phone number for the clinicians to be able to speak with a representative. They only offer online chat to their employees. As an employee, we should be able to access to a live representative. This platform caters more to the facilities. That’s very unfair…

Try marketing to get actual buyers on the site, and not just gamblers.

why interviewer says much more than interviewee?

Very helpful tips for organization -- appreciate this!

Thank You Faith❤

"I dont wanna do this, and because I dont wanna do this, i won't be good at it" This just hit me.

This was great! Thank you for sharing gentlemen!

It’s real interesting that you all tout a CoS but you don’t include the CoS in your coaching sessions. Cheers to that

thank you for sharing

hELLO Ryan, Congrats

I am currently looking for a COS role, and have similar / management consulting experience as highlighted in the video above.

Helpful video. Looking at Chief of Staff roles as potential for a 3rd act. Thank you.

It is borderline criminal that this conversation (and Part 2) only has 1.5k views. Gold in plain sight. Holy sh*t.

You require seller giveaways but penalize people who enter them . There is no specific number of giveaways specified that a person can enter. Why do I keep getting blocked then for suspicious giveaway activity? I usually buy when I win a giveaway. My wife and I have spent over 25 k over the last year but due to my 7th time getting unfairly blocked from giveaways I am now boycotting spending on your app. You are clearly violating my rights according to state sweepstakes laws

This was wonderful! Great Questions, Great Responses.. such a fantastic interaction 🎓🦉💎😎❤️‍🔥

Than you so much for this video. It’s the kind of real life business content that we usually won’t find anywhere.

Really loved this. I think David calling out the founders identity piece at the end, re/Faiths diagram really hit home for me too. That was probably one of my own failures, again like David I consider myself a builder but should have probably morphed my perspective earlier into being a builder of teams rather than of features.

Awesome video highlighting my new role, thanks Matt.

I’m a fCoS working 2 different firms, I find myself being super successful in one of the firms i’m supporting and somewhat failing on the other, of the biggest sticking point I’ve had is access to my executive, I couldn’t agree more, that just doing special projects tends to limit my capacity to support my exec, because of the lack of context on upcoming projects and key decisions on why were’ doing such and such. Instead of being a force multiplier, I end up being a bottleneck. -Nash C, fCoS, ex-McKinsey

Could all of this be done on Notion?

Thanks for sharing Grant! I am not a marketer, but have worked closely with marketing and what you are referring to is your classic segmentation - who are your buyers, what are their behaviors, values etc. Segmentation is the work of skilled statisticians and data scientists. I am a huge fan of Whatnot as a buyer and seller.

How is this video's audio sounds so clear. Is there anyone who can tell me what software or microphone are they using

Karri, please do create Linear University 🙏 v1 really doesn't need to be more than a (high quality) screen share of how you use Linear. I have so many questions about what makes a good label, what's the right size for a project, what should be an issue and what should be a sub issue.

This is gold❤❤❤

This was super helpful Matt! Thank you!

Very helpful - thanks for sharing your wisdom with us!

Hey Matt, I'm a new tech entrepreneur and startup founder based in the Philippines. Your videos have helped me so much in building and moving my startup. You inspire me and guide me in doing my best as the CEO! I am grateful for the value you put out in this world! I've also read and consistently use The Great CEO Within in my role as a CEO! Looking forward to more highly self-aware, emotionally inteligent, and value-packed content from you all the way from the other side of the world, Philippines. Would love to connect and share how it is on the other side of the world as a tech entrepreneur.

Thank you, Mark! You are the most trusted and wisest CEO I've ever met. I was very fortunate to work at VERITAS during your great leadership - thanks to your trust, humility, confidence, and wisdom, we became a very successful company. I think of you as a Thomas Jefferson of IT and a great leader of people. You've improved thousands of lives (employees and customers) - Thank you, Mark!

Keep these coming, excited to see this iterate off the feedback and continue to grow!

Incredibly succinct video on some GREAT leadership insights!

This is awesome. Thank you for this amazing information

Incredible amounts of wisdom, and as an introvert solopreneur....very helpful and a bit contrasting to the typical "hustle culture" advice to wear a thousand hats. Thanks both of you.
