You cannot beat someone who has already decided they will do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. And that person might as well be you.

the hardest part about being a male founder.. in my experience is finding a girlfriend / partner that understands the short term gains that we are forgoing and the long-term optimization game that we are playing. most women expect to have most dates paid for, their vacations

dating founders is hard. really fking hard. you come home to a messy apartment, to someone who’s still glued to their laptop. you’re exhausted from your own job, but you pour what’s left of you into his dream. you hold space for their stress, and stay calm when it all feels too

Everyone loves the idea of being a founder until: • You’re 5 years in • Your cofounders have left • Revenue has stalled but you still have 20 employees • Investors stop returning calls and write you off as a loss Yet you still have to believe.

Don’t quit before your story gets interesting. The hardest times build the best founders.

The CEO is the most unnatural position at any company You don’t actually “do” anything tangible Your output is the output of the team Your metrics are the teams metrics 7 differences between a founder and a CEO:

Grit isn’t showing up in the office 9-9-6 when the VC dollars are flowing and ACV doubles every week; it’s pushing through and showing up when everything is falling apart but you still believe

Working in finance .. especially credit and lending opens your eyes to A LOT.

Never quit something with great long term potential just because you can't deal with the stress of the moment.

In entrepreneurship, you can outwork everyone and still end up broke. That’s the brutal gamble of the journey, and it’s a risk that exists whether you’re in Lagos or London.
