9:30 - hiring founders can be suitable. More often than it seems, they aren’t interested in being a founder themselves, but instead being a founder is a proxy to: - Being able to work on hard problems - being part of what builds the core structure of the company - working with great people Therefore you can hire founders, since their goal optimisation of the above is likely already fulfilled.

This guy chucked out his irish accent and acquired American. Sounds like 60% American, 40% irish.
@adamblakley37806 жыл бұрын
He didn't chuck it out, go live and work in Silicon Valley for a decade and we'll analyze your accent when you get back. Accents are fluid and subject to change, it has nothing what-so-ever to do with turning your back on your native country, which I assume you're implying.
@itsyounmesweetie6 жыл бұрын
It sounds more like he's trying to hold onto his original accent and has aquired a strange mix. But, yeah, good for him! Wish more people would adapt like that. Like when Southern accented Americans move to non Southern accented areas. They don't live around that accent anymore so why not adapt?

10:20 If your company doesn’t have a clear and obvious end point for your product, then it is to a degree vanity on the part of the founder to expect people to have so much interest in their company. Note: this may not be so applicable for non tech companies where the direction is more clear

Anyone know the Bezos quote he references in about 2.40?
@BiancaAguglia5 жыл бұрын
The quote is, “If everything you do needs to work on a three-year time horizon, then you’re competing against a lot of people, but if you’re willing to invest on a seven-year time horizon, you’re now competing against a fraction of those people, because very few companies are willing to do that. Just by lengthening the time horizon, you can engage in endeavors that you could never otherwise pursue. At Amazon we like things to work in five to seven years. We’re willing to plant seeds, let them grow-and we’re very stubborn.” 😁
