  • Matt and Naval Ravikant (founder and former CEO of AngelList) talk about why you don't need to be the CEO.
    Naval explains how he realized it wasn't the role he wanted at AngelList, what he did to get over his fear of stepping back, and how much more value he can (and does) create now that he is no longer in that role.
    If you don't love being CEO, know that there is likely someone who can do the job better than you, and you can create much more value in the role that you actually love.

    This was a fantastic interview, Matt! You deserve more subscribers 💯
    I agree with your comment about how Naval articulates his thoughts well enough that it could be a book.
    My top two takeaways:
    1) From you - ask for a preview before scheduling a call as time can often be saved with a text/email reply
    2) From Naval - if you probe deep enough, the last reason is the true reason for declining (the sale/pitch offer). The first reason is usually superficial.
    Thanks a lot, gents. Today, I learnt loads about business, psychology and enjoying life. Cheers 🤝🏼
