Brendan (can/do)(@BrendanFoody):I see so many people founding because they want to be founders. Almost all lack a contrarian thesis for why the world should be different. There are about a dozen companies that matter each decade and meaningfully shape how the world works. You should generally optimize for contributing meaningfully to one of those.
