Will O'Brien of @UlyssesInc on why today's young founders are more Steve Jobs than Jeff Bezos: "The founders look very different, right? It's like the kind of rah-rah, smoking, go to church on Sunday, maybe a bit louder, working typically on hardware rather than software." "It's like a different motivation. There is seemingly more of a kind of a spiritual reason to why people start their businesses." "I often think of there being head and heart type founders, where Jeff Bezos is the canonical head-based founder... 'What would be the best thing to sell on the internet? Oh, books are good because you can move them easily.'" "Steve Jobs being the canonical heart-based founder, the bicycle for the mind, the hippie on acid... And I think this era of founders are way more oriented on the heart-based." "A lot of us were very, I think, impacted by something like COVID. A lot of us are typically in our later 20s now, but were in college or something like that when it happened. It kind of made me feel a little bit cheated." "We were forced to be in the digital world, so we feel cause to impact the physical world... Or maybe we're just more of a product of the times that we're in." @Willob on Cheeky Pint 🔗 View on Twitter
