Hiring exceptional people may be one of the most asymmetric investments a company can make.
A great person doesn’t just do their own job well.
They make better decisions. Solve harder problems. Raise the standard. Attract other talented people. Help the people around them get better.
One exceptional hire can create value far beyond a single role.
Investing in great people compounds.

All employees come in 5 levels, choose wisely:
Level 1 - tells you there's a problem
Level 2 - tells you there's a problem and what caused it
Level 3 - tells you there's a problem, what caused it, and options to fix it
Level 4 - tells you there's a problem, what caused it, options to fix it, and which one they'd pick
Level 5 - tells you there was a problem, what caused it, how they fixed it, and future proof’d it

Elon Musk on why his companies move faster than anyone else.
"I'm constantly addressing the limiting factor. Whatever the limiting factor is on speed, I'm going to tackle that. If capital is the limiting factor, I'll solve for capital. If it's not the limiting factor, I'll solve for something else."
He then said something most managers never figure out:
"If something is going really well and making good progress, there's no point in me spending time on it.The irony is if something's going really well, they don't see much of me. But if something is the limiting factor, they'll see a lot of me."
He spends his time entirely on whatever is blocking the next step. Not on what's interesting or what he's best at. But on whatever is the bottleneck right now.
Most leaders do the opposite... They gravitate toward what they're comfortable with and away from the hard problem.

I regret to inform you that everything matters. Small things become big things. You don't get to pick and choose when to show up, because the world will ignore your best and judge you for your worst. The one who brings energy every single day will win. Because everything matters.

BCG: "Global fintech revenues surpassed half a trillion dollars in 2025, growing 22% year over year. That also means fintechs outgrew traditional financial services four-fold and now account for approximately 4% of total global financial services revenue".

Lots of VCs kindof sound like this: "Your basketball team doesn't have a moat, any healthy human can throw the ball into the basket thingy. "
People who have not run companies before don't understand how much the team matters more than some imagined structural moat.
