Founder Mind
The internal operating system every founder needs before the external one.
Companies are built by people, and people are built by the way they think. This volume is about the shape of the founder's mind — the small habits, the frames, the questions that make good decisions inevitable and bad ones rare.
"The founder's first job is to become someone the company can be built by."
