The biggest misconception about being a founder is that it's seen as a prestigious role. In reality, you'll be doing all the work nobody else wants to do. That's not a bugā€”it's a feature. The best founders embrace unglamorous work.

The most undervalued skill in senior leadership? Being genuinely approachable. As leaders become more senior, they often end up in an echo chamber of their own ideas. Why? Because people become hesitant to give them direct feedback. I've learned that actively encouraging direct input, especially from junior team members, is crucial. The best insights often come from those closest to the problems, regardless of their title. Make it explicit that you welcome challenges to your thinking. Create multiple channels for feedback. Remember: Your title might make you right more often, but it doesn't make you infallible.

@sahilypatel You have to be really hungry, deeply unsatisfied with a more conventional career and probably naive to do what it takes for a startup to succeed. Taking shots is a very wrong analogy

Here's what most get wrong about AI and the future of work: The conversation shouldn't be about which jobs AI will replace, but how it will amplify human capabilities. From my experience building AI companies, I've observed that curiosity and adaptability are becoming increasingly valuable. The real opportunity isn't in competing with AI - it's in leveraging it. Those who stay ahead of the curve, even if they're not technical experts, will have an outsized advantage. This is especially true outside of tech hubs, where early adopters can create significant value by bridging the knowledge gap. The future belongs not to those who can build AI, but to those who can effectively collaborate with it while bringing uniquely human qualities to the table.

The best career advice isn't always what you want to hear: Trade comfort for opportunity, especially early in your career. Success often requires getting uncomfortable - moving to new cities, taking roles that stretch you, and working with people smarter than you. I've seen too many talented people optimize for comfort over growth, especially in their 20s. The reality? The highest-leverage learning often happens when you're slightly out of your depth. Whether it's cold-emailing potential mentors, taking on challenging projects, or moving to tech hubs like the Bay Area - the best opportunities rarely come with comfort. Don't wait for the perfect moment or until you feel 'ready.' The people who achieve outsized success are often those willing to be uncomfortable in the short term for long-term growth.
