Episode notes

Entrepreneurs need to take the onus off them and their willpower for the uncomfortable things. The magic happens after you thrash around with customers for a while, not before. You might come in with an outline of a secret, but the details are forged through customer interactions.

Today, we'll help you get out of your own way. We subscribe to the Charlie Munger school of "instead of trying to be smarter, try to be less dumb," and this episode digs into three ways to simplify your startup so that you can move faster. We talk through how to actually implement jobs to be done, how to build systems to amplify your willpower 100x, and how to be more courageous.

Also, I'll watch Interstellar. Everyone calm down.
