Effective people can be scary. Controlling your fear is a super power. Restraint can be harder than action. The truly scalable superpower is the ability to motivate others - not the ability to be the best IC. Founder mode is most powerful when it inspires your entire org to feel like owners. Fake founder mode is a company with 1 brain and many hands.

It is a chance for you and them to build relationship and see a fit quick.
Donāt dilute that chance to relationship build.
