"I think that’s the right founder mode... Everybody needs to see that you are just maniacally focused on a better product, and all over everybody and everything." Kara Swisher and @Scott Galloway discuss the true definition of founder mode. Listen to the full conversation on our latest episode. #pivot #podcast #foundermode

Thoughts on founder mode, given you're a founder? My management style is I'm all fucking over everyone all the fucking time. And that's true. When I start a company and I'm all in, I am harassing everybody. Did you do this? Did you do this? This is great. This sucks. What were you thinking with this? Who didn't proof this document? Have you called this person? Have you sent this? I think that's the right founder mode. You're all over everything. You are quality assurance. You are vision. You are making the product every day. Everybody needs to see that you are just maniacally focused on a better product and all over everybody and everything. That worked for me. The thing I don't like about this is it feels more like this idolatry of innovators where the founders of tech companies are the yodas and all of America and big corporations should take their cues from them. You demonstrate founder mode in the positive sense. Totally. When I've seen you in the businesses and the things you start, you are fearless, relentless, and all over people and emails at two in the morning. It just cracks me up that people think they're going to start a company and have balance. Right. I agree. You got to be all over everybody all the time. I do get what they're talking about here because I do make better decisions because it's mine. Not that I can't hear people's opinions, but I want to do what I want to do. There is a mode of being a founder that is... By the way, I feel like if I fail, I fail. It's mine. If I don't, I don't, but it's mine.
