#41 The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers
Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio
The problem with these books is that they attempt to provide a recipe for challenges that have no recipes. There's no recipe for really complicated dynamic situations. There's no recipe for building a high tech company. There's no recipe for leading a group of people out of trouble. And there's no recipe for making a series of hit songs.
There's no recipe for playing NFL quarterback. There's no recipe for running for president. And there's no recipe for motivating teams. When your business has turned to crack. That's the hard thing about hard things.
There is no formula for dealing with them. None the less. There are many bits of advice and experience that can help with the hard things. I do not attempt to present a formula in this book. Instead I present my story and the difficulties that I have faced.
