Here are some lessons I learned as an introverted founder in start up/tech.

A thread🧵🪡:

[Alexis Ohanian 🗽 @alexisohanian]

The biggest secret I've learned about creating billion-dollar companies is that the best ideas look like bad ideas at first. If everyone agrees with you, you’re too late.

[Marcel Johnson @marcelj128]

I’m betting big on the NA industry.

@BeyGhoul Beyhive, I fear we aren’t talking enough about how Suga Mama needs to be on the set list for this tour.

[𝒟𝑜𝓇𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝒩𝑜𝓌𝑒𝓁𝓁 ✨ @DorionNowell]

Beyoncé should actually make her announcement during the inauguration.

I had a red bull at 6:00pm. Here I am trying to fall asleep at 7:15 am 🤦🏾

[Marcel Johnson @marcelj128]

@heyalexfriedman And the great founders aren't in need of VC funding.

[Codie Sanchez @Codie_Sanchez]

Be yourself, so that those actually looking for you, can find you.

[Marcel Johnson @marcelj128]

The love hate relationship I have with autocorrect is so deep! 🙄

[Marcel Johnson @marcelj128]

Who are some of the best sales & marketing people you know?

[Marcel Johnson @marcelj128]

He said yes 💍

[Marcel Johnson @marcelj128]

When we try to have all the answers, it prevents us from truly experiencing the gift of life which includes curiosity, vulnerability, and happiness.

[Marcel Johnson @marcelj128]

What books are y’all reading right now?

[Marcel Johnson @marcelj128]

The best way to not waste time when building a company is realizing that you cannot make everyone happy.

[Marcel Johnson @marcelj128]

Don't let knowing it all prevent you from learning something new!

[Marcel Johnson @marcelj128]

Making coffee at home is top tier

[Marcel Johnson @marcelj128]

@Codie_Sanchez Do, do, do!

[Codie Sanchez @Codie_Sanchez]

I wasn't into...
• Investing, until I worked at Goldman.
• Latin America, until I built there.
• Cannabis, until I ran a PE fund.
• Boring biz's, until I saw the cashflow.

You have no idea what you’ll be into, until you try it.

So just go try.

@itsjphillips I feel like I hit a mental block and running provides a sense of clarity that feels slightly different than simply lifting in the gym.

[Marcel Johnson @marcelj128]

I need to pick up running again 😅
