Learn how to use this founder's tool to your advantage

00:00:00.000 | I take the founder role very seriously.

00:00:03.000 | If the founder slot is filled,

00:00:05.080 | you have incredible ability to change the company.

00:00:08.640 | The key thing is subtraction.

00:00:10.280 | And this is where the founder slot's energy comes from.

00:00:14.040 | It seems to me that it's only founders

00:00:16.720 | who subtract in companies.

00:00:18.400 | This is the meeting thing in a nutshell.

00:00:20.600 | Everyone adds recurring meetings and gums up the system.

00:00:23.920 | I'm super pro great meetings,

00:00:26.280 | but once every couple, year and a half or so,

00:00:30.080 | we randomly delete all recurring meetings.

00:00:32.840 | We're actually gonna do random deletion of Slack channels

00:00:36.080 | and all these kind of things,

00:00:37.120 | just because they will come back if they are useful.

00:00:40.760 | (audience applauding)

00:00:43.480 | So I think that gives you a sense.

00:00:44.920 | Well, I don't think I have time for dissertation,

00:00:47.200 | but again, it's super fun building companies.
