“So still in don't fuck existing customers, something I read from a site, from Reforge that talk about the Safety Funnel. So they have this thing where the typical growth funnel goes from acquisition all the way to revenue and there's a whole bunch of different stages in between.”

“Yeah, the first one was a book that was recommended to me by Scott Farquhar, founder of Atlassian co-founder. Who: A Method for Hiring is basically a book about how to do the thing that I for a while was really bad at, which is try to interview to understand who's going to be a good person, not a good person to join your team. Second one, so that's one book about work. Two other books that are not about work. Highly recommend reading Hakim's Odyssey. It's the story of a Syrian refugee moving out of Syria, trying to move into Europe. We hear a lot of these stats and numbers about people trying to cross the Med Sea or basically become refugees in other countries and it's very easy to look at it complacently up until you meet a personal story. This personal story of Hakim that was told very beautifully by this illustrator is well worth a read on that front. The last one is a book that I'm not sure has been translated from French. It's called Vivre avec la Terre, To Live with the Earth and it's about how we could build a different agricultural system to the one that we have today that might have better ways to feed us into the future that doesn't require large monoculture of vegetables that may not be as sustainable. They managed to create a really efficient structure on very small parcels of land with a lot of species working together to control and not need the use of any pesticides and stuff like that. They've been always surrounded by teams of researchers from the, I think it's called the Inria. It's one of the French research centers, have got really amazing results, but I don't think many know that this stuff exists and that it could actually be used out there and I think that's a shame.”

“I was able to form a team that was not worried about losing their job because the program was made so that technically speaking, you would borrow people from other departments.”
