Loved this post, thanks! You mentioned the 3 constraints under which you (and many founders) thrive in: * Being the underdog * Hard challenges most people shy

  I'd say most people would be. If you don't take responsibility and if you're not challenged, you can hardly expect to excel at anything. Many people either are too comfortable with their lives or are in too precarious a situation to ever get to try. That's probably also why we so rarely hear about rich kids with large trust funds accomplishing anything meaningful.

    > That's probably also why we so rarely hear about rich kids with large trust funds accomplishing anything meaningful. Interesting theory... but could perhaps be due to reporting bias? The trust funded who do succeed are unlikely to highlight that fact when telling the story of their success.

  No idea - maybe another way to think about it is im really bad when these constraints aren't in place
