I love this! Especially the part about if writing is thinking, are we not then reading the ‘thoughts’ of the LLM rather than those of the researchers behind the paper?
I am planning to resume Judo, i only learnt it as a kid and now planning to start again. I never kind of was the best but it helped me build some life skills around focus, being in tough scenarios. So yes the point of doing hard things is not about winning only
Yes, so i had another cofounder join in, with the previous cofounder exit, so first we sold the shares to the new cofounder at FMV and the company returned the sweat equity to him at FMV. Honestly, the best thing is to get a lawyer who has done these transactions before and once you have amicably communicated let the lawyer take this up, it will drain your energy otherwise.
Went through a similar scenario a few years ago, similar valuation range and stage. The person was nice, so we amicably decided to settle at around 3% sweat equity.
Two things that have helped me:
1. If you are using LinkedIn for reachouts, try to build a more credible and engaging profile. For example - write more thoughtful and helpful posts as people checkout before replying and accepting your requests, engage even more with comments to your prospects and try to use as less AI as possible for these two tasks now when you’ll reach you’ll get better response and meeting rates. To check this. See the number of people viewing your profile but still not accepting requests or replying back
I loved the last suggestion, this has happened to me so many times and mostly i end up abruptly excusing myself. "Follow me so i can introduce you to xxx" is a great advice. Can i add this advice to the blog?
This is a great point. While i was reading the book, this tip was shared too with an example of a person who would make notes on the visiting cards of that specific person so that next time if she bumps into them again, they would have a talking point.
