Love to see Michael grilling college kids to make them realize some of them are scenesters, not actual entrepreneurs

[@assonancex]

Why don't these folks find a stable connection, sit down in a quiet place and ask their question? It's such a privilege to ask these questions with Michael giving up his time to answer them. C'mon haha.

[@henrykwan5224]

Lolz Michael was so savage but at the same time I understand cause this guy is legit and he is gracious enough to offer his time

[@justaddsaltTV]

We can all relate to his demeanor. Sometimes we are tired, but still great straight forward honest advice.

[@matts9299]

Omg... poor Michael Seibel. You should get "normal people" asking questions... on the bicycle, broken connections, people asking questions that are not questions etc ...

[@THEMATT222]

Very interesting 🤔

🚧Micheal Seigel is a Great Educator in the start up domain.🚧

The Neil deGrasse Tyson of startups

[@reece_harding]

Spitting facts

[@diyplusone]

Why giving a chance for people asking while walking? Consider it as a seminar you attend in a room. You should sit and focus. The speaker was nicely sitting and focused and gave a full energy to the session. But look at the audience?! Hey Moderator dont get fooled by your audience!

So spicy.🔥

34:50 - people like to play games they're good at

[@ethio-code6509]

Stay humble Michael, had to close it because of his attitude in this video. Keep up the good work Decode.

[@SHA-3qua]

Dude has been answering these same exact questions for years lol imagine how you’d feel

[@jayrollo1352]

I don't think it's attitude. He's just very direct. Someone has to hear it.

[@wynton921]

What’s it like being so weak? 😢

[@bjvu9460]

You think too much of yourself. dont forget you are nobody. Dont forget, you need them more than he needs you. he is not your daddy, your girlfriend who needs to massage your feelings. you will never be an entrepreneur if you are into your feelings because when they tell you no, an insult normally comes with it and you either accept or dont... poor Ycombinator is going to miss you ... imagine the opportunity they are missing by you not being here! loser!

[@sun-ship]

Yea, I've seen other videos and he seems to always have this attitude when talking to young people (eg people who he doesn't need anything from), but never people at his level or above. Punch down suck up is never a good look.

audio is to low, needs compression/limiting
