For example, he discusses:

- How using contractors helped him bootstrap his growth.
- How his refreshing humility helped him grow Foundr Magazine.
- The challenges of being “firm” and holding others accountable when they may not meet expectations.
- How to balance giving team members room to grow and avoid mistakes from negatively impacting the business.
- How his experience with interns taught him how to let go, learn to work with others, and leverage his time and impact.
