The Truth

I'm 26 and running a company. Sometimes I have no idea what I'm doing.

The Triggers

  • Board meetings with experienced VCs
  • Comparing myself to other CEOs
  • Making decisions that affect people's livelihoods

How I Cope

Acknowledge It

Everyone feels this way. Even the successful ones.

Focus on Progress

We're farther along today than yesterday.

Lean on the Team

I don't have to know everything. That's what smart people like Gilfoyle and Dinesh are for.

Remember Why

We're building something revolutionary. That's worth the discomfort.

Still scared. Still building.

This is more common than people admit. Good to talk about it openly.
