Paul Graham, co-founder of YCombinator, is a smart dude. Founders rightfully listen to what he has to say. One of his many pearls of wisdom is that founders should NOT talk to corporate development groups. Having spent the last 3 days in SF doing…
So,
A wise man once told me that “talk is cheap, it is all about your actions”. Since then I have never thought otherwise. I lived by those words. Growing up I always wanted those feelings of execution, innovation, success and hustle that I saw in that man’s eyes. Having that…
