Episode 110: On today’s episode, I am going to break down 17 startup principles by Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI & former President of YCombinator.
The essay is called What I Wish Someone Had Told Me & as I read the piece I found myself nodding from beginning to end. Sam managed to bottle up so many thoughts & experiences that I’ve had as an entrepreneur, but never articulated in such a clear way.
