Ideas for founders navigating important decisions
From time to time I write short reflections on decision-making, clarity and thoughtful use of AI.
They’re not news or commentary.
They’re observations that come from building companies and mentoring founders.
Most can be read in a few minutes.

How companies gradually move away from the original problem they set out to solve.
Speed applied to the wrong problem
Why moving faster can quietly take startups further away from the real issue.
The founder’s real job
Why asking better questions often matters more than having the answers.
Why mentoring conversations work
How an outside perspective can restore clarity surprisingly quickly
AI makes clarity more important, not less
Why the most valuable AI skill for founders may actually be problem definition.
Why founders struggle with clarity
How pressure and constant decisions slowly erode perspective inside growing companies.
