Every founder hits the same wall. You start a company to build and lead. You end up becoming "human middleware"—manually routing POs and copy-pasting data between silos. The business starts running on you, rather than because of you.

Imagine how much more advanced society would be today if women, who comprise half the world’s brain power, were socially & intellectually enfranchised from the beginning of civilization.

Something I taught my kids last night: Everyone has something they're unusually good at. When you meet someone try to figure out what it is.
