Navigating Corporate Hierarchies and the Power of Written Communication

With some time passed, Bryan and Adam offer a non-hot take on Paul Graham's "Founder Mode" post. While there is plenty to quibble over, there's also the kernel of an important idea: how to balance experience, novel thinking, and limited time? Also stay tuned as they share a years old "ego con".

Your hosts were Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal.

Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:

• Paul Graham Founder Mode
• Bryan Reflecting on Founder Mode
• Tim O'Reilly How I Failed
• Camille Fournier Founder Create Managers
• Bryan Chesky interview we mention
• OxF: on Steve Jobs and the NeXT Big Thing
• Seagull Management
• How to Castrate a Bull NOT AN ENDORSEMENT; DO NOT READ
• The ego con: Non-Stop Hitz

If we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR! Our next show will likely be on Monday at 5p Pacific Time on our Discord server; stay tuned to our Mastodon feeds for details, or subscribe to this calendar. We'd love to have you join us, as we always love to hear from new speakers!
