Hey friends, Often, it's the founder who "wants it the most" who ends up winning over their competitors. I think it's worth asking: Am I going to be the person who “wants it the most” in this category? I made a video about it here: If you watch it, I'd love for you to leave a comment and tell me your thoughts.

But for a variety of reasons (overhiring during COVID, public companies wanting to maximize shareholder value, tariffs,...
