Re loneliness I knew zero other executives or business people when I started. I had a great support network of close friends and family, but no one I could confide in. What I think helped me cope (when I could cope) was keeping front and center how privileged I was to have chosen this mountain to climb. I've since met people starting startups literally in the middle of warzones. Can't complain I've had it too rough. Neither has Ryan from the stories which is the point of the cruelty.
If he has had it rougher than it seems, let's hear those stories! Would make for much better blogging than this.
- cj 5y agoI fail to see how the legitimacy of someone’s suffering or emotions is affected by their societal privilege.
- zemvpferreira 5y agoWell not the suffering, you're certainly right there. But the internal narrative around that suffering can be challenged, and in being challenged lessen the suffering. In my experience. Doubly so in public.
- cglace 5y agoFYI, you come across as an asshole, then you explain yourself and still seem like an asshole.
