Episode notes

If you're only ever having easy, superficial conversations with people, it's cool until it's not. The best way to work with folks at your company is to find the right way to have some of these hard conversations. If you're just avoiding hard conversations, no one wins. And most importantly, the employee doesn't win because they probably know something's wrong.

Y Combinator group partners Michael Seibel and Dalton Caldwell discuss the importance of having honest and difficult conversations with startup founders. While having hard conversations can be uncomfortable, Michael and Dalton argue that this transparency is essential for founders to grow and ultimately, these experiences help founders have their own hard conversations that they've been avoiding with the people around them.
