Beautifully written. My condolences and wish you all the best!

Here I shared my thoughts on why founders sometimes have to choose the harder, less obvious path instead of following conventional startup advice. The essay uses the history of Everest's North Face and the origin of The North Face brand as a metaphor for building companies.

Curious if this resonates with other founders!

2 years ago I wrote about an idea that's changed how I think about careers and startups.

We often compare ourselves to millions of people, but in reality we're usually competing with a much smaller group. The post breaks down why that is, how it affects motivation, and what it means for choosing what to work on.

Curious whether others here agree or think this reasoning is flawed.
