Find the bottleneck. Swarm the bottleneck. Shatter the bottleneck.If every CEO that I coach focused like @alighodsi, I wouldn't have a job. His strategy:- Identify the main bottleneck - Focus the whole company on it (to an extreme)- If you overdo it, thats great. You did it https://t.co/Udw3TysEvU

When you're building a company, fires will always come. Your job isn’t racing between them, it’s mapping the territory, building firebreaks, and designing the whole system so one spark doesn’t burn everything down."Your team kills today’s flames. You shape the forest that survives them." @dickc

A lot of founders have pinged me to ask what steps they would need to take to pull of what @jack has done restructuring @blocks this way. He answers it spot on 👇"look at all the tools you're using. Look at all the information you're generating just by doing your work. Just putting that into an intelligence and being able to query it will give you an understanding of the company that is 2-3x more than you had before, ever."If you want to hear more, let me know and I can share my longer thoughts

The talent shortage of 2030 will be caused by companies not hiring and training juniors in 2026.@ivanhzhao shifted to a barbell 🏋️‍♂️approach for hiring on the Engineering team at @NotionHQ: junior ICs paired with very senior architects.-The senior architects provide direction the model can't -The juniors are AI-pilled by default. -A senior managing 2–3 juniors managing 2–3 agents each compounds way better than a senior managing 4–6 agents directly.Links below👇 for the full episode

If you love what you do, they couldn't pay you to stop. -@davidsenra The people he studies on @FoundersPodcast – the Buffetts, the Knights, the Waltons – aren't doing it for 5 years. Or 10. Or 15.They're doing it for 40+ years. Because the idea of stopping is worse than the work.Link to the full episode below 👇

This seems to be different than what most AI-pilled CEOs that I talk to are doing right now:@ivanhzhao rebuilt @NotionHQ's eng org around a barbell: super junior ICs + very senior architects.Capability got democratized by LLMs. Taste and agency didn't. https://t.co/2547jqTfas

Every startup has a fatal existential leak that threatens to sink the business at any given time. @Kalshi has been through this many times. As @mansourtarek_ says, theirs now is proving what actually separates a regulated, onshore exchange like @Kalshi from the unregulated players giving the whole category a black eye.To be the best, you need to stare directly at that agonizing vulnerability every single day until it’s fixed rather than delegating the pain. Look at the leak. 👀Links to the full
