Founding Fit Takes Time

1% of my podcast guest become friends: I'm an odd guy and don't shy away from exposing my true self out there: the angels, the demons.

friends are also equal to potential partners or clients. ppl i'd exchange fluids with. money being the fluid, what connects humans in our modern times: energy. money is intimate. we can't be friends if we can't make or exchange money together. Technology enhances friendships. money is technology. going counter-cap is going counter-currents. counter currency, counter current times.

now, the goal of this post is to show how few fits you're going to get in this life. these "friends" are folks I can partner with for 50-100 years, depending on how long they live. I'm living forever. 50-100 years, that's a lot of value and money. call it at least 1 billion dollar lifetime per friendship. I created around 10 of these friendships just this year, mostly through my podcasting system.

I already pre-filter for my podcast: only specific folks -> CEO/founders -> in specific niches, in specific growth phases.

only 1% will be a fit with me. So call it the 0.000001%. And most founders jump in bed together from the first date. I did this with my first cofounder and although we're still friends, we broke up 3-4 years in the game.

not sure if you've understood the lesson by then but finding fit takes time: foundership-wise, partnership-wise, life-partner wise. Ppl expect success from day 1.

Sure, there's also the road of common change, but that one is long, painful and takes a lot of energy. I also do some of that, for example with my life partner, but the number's path is safer, faster and scales.

so when ppl tell me they're depressed after their 1st founder marriage went off, I refer them to this post.
