Love it!! So many interesting nuggets from the pre-idea fund to the concepts of looking at trauma, neurodivergence, and bad pedigree as pros, topped off with a look at the traps founders and funders fall into and more often than not traditional $$$ falls for. Would be interesting to see something like the pre-idea concept play out say with students or on a larger scale... Thanks for this. ;)
I loved the piece in The Generalist too. Amazing. It takes real guts to ACTUALLY BE contrarian and then PROVE it works. So easy to fall into the mediocre, messy middle.
And we did alright with that Year One Labs thing, didn't we? :)
There are organizations on a mission to change what it means to be an A-Player. It has more to do with physiology than anything else. Being an A-Player means being in a state of optimal functioning, a coherent state, where the heart and the mind align. This produces smooth heart rhythms, which improves leadership effectiveness and decision-making. In the new paradigm, A-Players are heart-coherent human beings, emotionally intelligent, empathetic, and resilient to the core.
