There seems to be quite few examples of founders looking back with fondness at the time when their company was small, and Paul Graham stating they would keep the company as small as possible (employees not revenues). Why do you think this is, for instance is this for professional (eg control), personal (eg family) etc reasons?
How do you decide which stories to tell? You do an incredible job of weaving stories together. Do you have an objective for each episode - in terms of which stories you want to share to illustrate the most powerful lessons? Reason I ask- I have a podcast (ep 185) and I am finding myself discussing the same principles and thinking I may be boring my audience. But when I listen to founders, I see the same principles with different stories and it’s fascinating. Any suggestions on storytelling to keep an audience engaged would be great. Thanks Shane
