   I don't have as many friends on FB/Twitter that would be interested in this stuff, but I do share threads with my brother/close friends that would be of interest to them. I think while the bulk of HN is technical, many here a

   Hi, I am so incredibly interested in this. I always liked the idea of being an executive coach, it seems so fascinating. And the idea of doing that for YC founders sounds awesome! My first thought after reading this was that it may be kind

   Seems interesting. Quick question: Some background on myself first. I am a financial consultant (only 1 year since graduating) and am planning to do a PhD in Accounting in the next 3 years. Currently working through the GMAT, but once that

    The increase in administrative overhead and such is more a case of the modern customer. Comparing private non profit universities and these BS places is stretching too far. On the customers - the ability to attract modern students rests mor

    I like this post. As someone who has little aspiration anymore for starting a company, but has (kinda) in the past, I could've used this. An interesting idea is to NEVER read the dumb internet comments. Just like professional baseball

    All depends on the team. Biggest thing to do is discuss expectations up front and clearly. Communication is key.
