What @AlanJamesCurtis and the team are building is incredible. Excited to be an investor! I look forward to spending the rest of my life helping this team succeed!
Bitcoin links its value to real world compute, energy usage and proof of work.
For hard money, this is a feature not a bug.
2025: 1 bitcoin buys 1 hr of 1 GW nuclear reactor time
2035: 1 bitcoin buys 35 hrs of nuclear reactor time
Plan accordingly.
Things I’d do differently as a 2nd time founder:
1) Stop being CEO the second I’m no longer best qualified or stop enjoying the role
2) Prioritize way more ruthlessly
3) Hire via freelance-to-full time way more frequently
4) Use EOS on day 1
5) Create a personal operating manual for teammates like @chughesjohnson
6) Set an expectation of Radical Candor (h/t @kimballscott) with all employees as part of onboarding
7) Raise $ via an SPV vs collecting 28 individual checks and docs
8) Spend more time talking to customers
9) Use @storyarb to help me create content so I can focus more time on building
10) Have 2 no-call days per week
11) Issue C-Corp shares ASAP so the QSBS timer starts
12) Monthly temperature checks with co-founder
13) Hire someone who handles ops/HR earlier
14) “Traction” and “15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership” are required reading
15) Use @focusmate for deep work sessions
“What can I put in place so that I can go completely off the grid for 4 to 8 weeks?”
To entrepreneurs who are feeling burned out, this is also the question I pose most often.
Two weeks isn’t enough, as you can let fires erupt and then attempt to repair things when you return. Four to eight weeks (or more) doesn’t allow you to be a firefighter. It forces you to put systems and policies in place, ditch ad-hoc email-based triage, empower other people with rules and tools, separate the critical few from the trivial many, and otherwise create a machine that doesn’t require you behind the driver’s wheel 24/7.
Here’s the most important point: The systems far outlive the vacation, and when you come home, you’ll realize that you’ve taken your business (and life) to the next level.
This is only possible if you work on your business instead of in your business, as Michael Gerber might say.
With EOS, you have a powerful operating system for sustainable, capital-efficient growth.
But struggling with the People Component is where it can all come crashing down for an entrepreneur.

Thank you Phil for helping protect our land, air and water! The St Vrain River areas are special, and continued heavy industrial activity carries disproportionate risk
When companies harm our natural resources, our Natural Resources Damages team takes action and holds them accountable. In this case, we did just that and are bringing valuable resources to restore the North St. Vrain Creek river habitat to health. dailycamera.com/2023/02/17/c…
Please sign to stop the #1 @bouldercounty polluter! A single corporation responsible for 7% of all GHG emissions…needs to be held accountable and in full compliance with Land Use Code actionnetwork.org/petitions/…
The Boulder County Board of County Commissioners just voted 2-1 to DENY the Cemex 15-year mining permit extension at Dowe Flats! Thank you to all who participated. Your voice made a difference!
It’s hard to believe the Boulder County Commissioners might allow their #1 polluter to keep going for 15 more years. If you want to see mining stopped, please consider signing this petition! bit.ly/3qhLSVx
Boulder County Planning Commission is on hour 8 of their meeting and in exec session for legal advice. Cemex mining extension on the docket and boy howdy did our community show up. I am so proud.
The more experience I get with product, the more I feel that designing for 1,000,000 users ultimately gets you 0 users and designing for 1 user gets you to 1,000,000 users.
