Much like first dates, you should get a free pass to leave meetings after the first 10 minutes if you realize it’s not a good match.

Good culture at work is not about open work spaces, happy hours & free lunch.

Good culture is people feeling valued, empowered, challenged & heard. It's about leaders who lead w/ empathy.

Encourage employees to care of themselves & the best work is done. That's good culture.

Out of everyone who applied for the Basecamp Head of Marketing job, only one person used an ad on LinkedIn to get an extra ounce of notice. This doesn’t get her the job, but it’s a clever, thoughtful technique to stand out against 1000+ other applicants.

After nearly a decade working in marketing, I can sum up my most important lessons in 5 simple rules:

👓 Stalk your customers
🧪 Test *then* invest
🛠 Optimize for personalized
💰 Niches build riches
📊 Trust comes before growth

What would you add to this list?

Takeaways from interviewing 20+ $Bn founders.

Can always hire better than you think you can.

Hire a Head of People sooner than you think you need.

Cap table is king, protect it.

When there’s doubt there’s no doubt, fire fast.

Mindset: nothing ever as 👍 or 👎 as seems.

I've been a GTD-er for 2 decades, but David Allen's advice never gets old:

- Your head is for having ideas, not holding them. Get them out of your head into a system.

- For greater mental clarity, make a list of every single commitment you have.

ATTENTION SALARYPEOPLE
Next Friday when your guaranteed monthly paycheck is deposited, take a moment of gratitude for the entrepreneurs who took the risks so you get this risk-free income.
Shaming an risk-taker for losing money is like shaming a soldier for losing a limb.
