The Power of Logic and Emotional Excitement in Startups
Dude, and I've met a few of these people. There's this other guy, Greg Mercer, who I'm friends with in Austin. He started a jungle scout./nThere's a few of these guys that I've met and they have this energy. Another one is Brett Adcock, who started Archer. It's like the flying car company. Or that he started, I've met some of these people and there's a few commonalities that they have./nOne, they're incredibly logical, but two, they're very emotional in the sense of like, why are you doing this? And they'll say, because it's awesome, because this is so cool. And like, deploy this much money and like maybe by year four, I think we'll figure it out. But if it doesn't work, that's okay. Because then we'll do this, this and this. So like, they're pretty logical, but they also balance this incredible amount of contagious enthusiasm./nWhenever I'm around them, I just feel like good about myself. I'm like, oh, you just make this sound so easy. And they're like, well, it's, it is pretty straightforward. You just do this, this, this. And I just am going to take a lot of risk. But these people like are incredibly, you leave them feeling hyped.
