Nietzsche nailed a hard truth: “Few people really care about truth—they mostly want comfort.” Intellectual honesty shows you what’s broken, reveal what customers actually need, and force you to make tough, necessary choices. Knowing who around you seeks truth vs comfort is key

Early days at Remote, I only chased big numbers—sign-ups, revenue, posts etc. Then I read something from Hideo Kojima: “If out of 10 players, 4 fall deeply in love, that's a massive win.” Changed everything for me: • Depth > breadth. Those 4 superfans become your best

Engineers ➡️ Product Managers?! With AI handling code & routine tasks, engineers now step into strategy, UX & PM roles. Unexpectedly great.

I never wanted to meet Job in the first place but my wife convinced me to go have coffee as a reminder that I hate people and should socialize more.

The best founders aren't the most connected or with the flashiest backgrounds. They're regular people who spot a problem and decide to fix it. Remote was started by two engineers annoyed by how tough global hiring was.

~6 years ago, I was Remote's CTO, then became COO and am now President. Instead of coding I spend time on company execution and strategy - the most important lesson I've learned is that scaling a business is 99% pushing yourself to grow and 1% growing the team.

Humans are great at automating everything except themselves. The biggest lift in bringing AI into companies is that most people still think of AI as the email writer aid or transcript tool.

Generational businesses are built in two ways: 1) Create an exceptional product - let time compound the revenue. 2) Generate substantial revenue - then refine the product. Countless companies became overnight successes but all took many years to get there.

Work hard → workout harder. It calms anxiety, sharpens focus, and fuels 14h days. Discipline, pre-scheduled workouts, clean high-protein diet, no sugar, right supplements, and functional health checks. Balance is key in high performance.
