"He compares those assembly-line-esque entrepreneurs who say they are just “the startup guy” to a 40-year-old man who still hangs out at a disco trying to pick up young girls." Amusing, considering that he seems to have sold 3 companies himself and is now building a fourth. Sounds like "assembly line entrepreneurship" to me. Maybe he thinks 40 year old men hanging out at discos trying to pick up young girls are rolemodels? ;-) To be fair he does say "“I think that’s a character flaw, and I have it. I have sold all my companies, and I wish I hadn’t sold a single one" but I'd rather listen to people who actually follow their own advice vs "wishing" they had the discipline to do it. At best this is like a philanderer advising celibacy to others. "Flipping" makes sense if you want to buy a castle in South America and hold asados and you have people willing to pay the big bucks for your company. "Value" is very much in the eye of someone who pays for it.
