    People with “founder mentality” can’t rest once a problem or opportunity is identified. They take on personal responsibility without complaint, learn and recruit skills as needed, and deliver results despite politics. There is unlimited global demand for founder mentality.

    This works well, as long as 'failure' isn't 7-10 years of your life you spent on your startup, where VCs have many bets going concurrently. That said, I think it's a smart way to approach innovation, placing bets on new products and markets where failure ≠ total failure.

    When you follow the path of least resistance, you tend to either work on the most recent thing you stubbed your toe on, or the thing you're already great at doing. Because [reasons].
