My respect for tech founders and their self-awareness.

🚀 I’m in awe of tech founders.
They create.
They build.
They invent value from nothing.

Jobs.
Careers.
Products.
Solutions to real business problems.

Every founder I’ve worked with shares something rare:
âš¡ Energy
🔥 Evangelism
💥 Dynamism
💪 Determination
🎯 A tolerance for risk most people can’t stomach — and a drive that thrives on it.

But here’s what separates the best from the rest:

🧠 Self-awareness.

The most successful founders I know realise something crucial:

👉 What got them here won’t get them there.

They know their strengths — and they play to them.
They know their gaps — and they hire for them.
And they don’t just hire smart people…

They trust them.

Because they’ve learned that if they want to keep control of the business,
they need to let go of some control.

That’s not easy.
But it’s essential for scale.

The founder journey starts with building a product.
It grows by building a team.
And it succeeds by building a company that doesn’t rely on you being in every room.

🧠 Energy + Ego gets you started.
🧠 Energy + Self-awareness takes you all the way
