Founder Fridays: Breaking 80 — how to hit goals faster & easier

06/21/19 • 11 min

I've been golfing for years now. And despite hours and hours of practice & time on the course, I had never shot below 80. It's been frustrating.

This year, in anticipation of a trip to Scotland to golf the Old Course in Scotland with my old man, I decided to change my mentality. I decided to focus on breaking 80. I applied the same thinking that I apply at work to hit goals product blitz after blitz.

By focusing on process rather than outcomes, I hit a 70. In this episode, I'll talk about how to deconstruct a goal & reach outcomes that you couldn't imagine hitting before.

Founder Fridays: "The Board Man gets paid"

All week, I’ve been telling our team, “The Board Man gets paid!” I love that quote. But what does it mean? Kawhi Leonard is an NBA player that just took the Toronto Raptors to the Finals and won the world championship, knocking off Golden State.

He’s a total freak, and I read an amazing article this week breaking down who he is and how he operates. It has inspired the heck out of me, and I pulled 6 hilarious stories out of it to share with you to inspire you and your team to greatness. Kawhi is a Board Man. Let’s all be Board People.

Founder Fridays: Why we changed our core values and mission this year

On the podcast, I've talked a lot about how core values are incredibly important when you're building a business. It's what separates you from competitors, and what attracts people to your mission. Until recently, we had 7 core values and a mission statement I thought were perfect. But as our team grew, I realized we'd made a mistake.

We simply had too many values — and our mission statement was, well, boring. I needed to make a change to more align with our current team and the direction our business is heading. In this episode, I'll explain how my cofounders and I approached changing our values and mission statement, why we did it, and what you can take away for your own company.
