Looks like it only takes 1 reason why I will avoid you as a person (and not just as an investor). This is not a healthy mentality, this is not a good "reason", this is not something we should celebrate in our line of work.
This is something that should be struck down, called out, and shamed.
- mbrzuzy 10y agoHe mentioned he knows it isn't healthy. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the start up world these days, due to a lot of clashing ego's. But I can respect Jason for telling it straight. I don't think anything should be "shamed", just because it's not something you agree with. Allow people to operate however they want, it's a free country after all.
- TimJYoung 10y agoYes, which would be fine if other people weren't involved and didn't have to suffer the consequences, especially children that have absolutely zero control over their situation. But, it's pretty dangerous territory to actually advocate in favor of neglecting one's children/spouse. You don't get do-overs with your children/spouse, and they can be harmed in ways that may not manifest themselves until later. Having said that: if you don't have a spouse/children, then go for it.
