Founders

What’s the most important Founder skill that’s teachable?

Unteachable:

Resilience / Persistence 

The amount of no’s you have to endure to get to your yes I think is the difference between being a founder and someone’s employee.

Sports are the biggest teachers. Discipline in a skill, understanding how to lead and when to follow, building a culture, understanding teamwork and how to play to everyone’s strengths, being coachable, having accountability… the list goes on.

My dad gave me this rock in 4th grade that had “Never, never quit.” engraved on it. 

I always thought of it for sports, but it probably shaped me in life.

Do feel like this was a “teaching”

Wonder if it’s something like languages though where it’s easier to learn when you’re young

Disagree. Resilience can be taught (and most likely is a product of upbringing)

I mean resilience is definitely teachable. It’s just learnt at an early age.

Legend with the wisdom, I’ll take it to heart
