In our culture, we emphasize the importance of telling the truth to entrepreneurs, even if it means they might not like you for it. It's crucial to provide honest feedback, such as when a founder needs to make tough decisions about their team or financial plans, rather than just being friendly.

A healthy culture is indicated when employees feel comfortable expressing their opinions, even if it means being blunt.

Getting to the truth is crucial for CEOs, but it's often scary. Many CEOs see problems but hesitate to confront them, hoping they will go away instead of addressing them directly.

To create a successful culture, be demanding and make tough decisions about team members who aren't working out, as their performance affects the entire team. Transparency is crucial in both the early days and at scale; everyone in the company should know everything except for sensitive information like salaries.

Building trust in a leadership relationship requires a culture of candidness and caring, where feedback is encouraged and valued.

It's crucial to maintain a culture that seeks out bad news. We focus on details and ensure that feedback loops are painful enough to be hard to ignore, which helps us face reality and improve.

True friends are those who can tell you uncomfortable truths, which is crucial for personal and professional growth.

A strong co-founding team requires collaboration and trust, ensuring that team members challenge each other to reach the truth.

It's crucial to be honest and authentic about your core values and culture, as culture is defined by behavior, not just words on a wall.
