1. Why a business is “essentially a fiction” and how new ideas spread - every brand touch point is an opportunity for storytelling.
2. The founder “Messiah” vs. “Imposter” complex - and how to spot your weaknesses.
3. Why founders must find and embrace their psychotic part. Turn empathy off.
4. How to add systems as you scale - a brand can only scale once the right systems are in place = Brand principles + systems + link to brand + consistency = HUGE brand scale
5. How to ACTUALLY fire employees: Sad reality not everyone is going to be perfect
6. Why founders MUST know what type of business they’re building: Do you want to be Rich or Do you want to be King?
