The amount I have been able to get done being in person is insane, not to mention the feedback loop is way better

🎙️ Episode 6 of The Delta is here: A Conversation with @iamlosi 🎧

When we talk about leadership, the focus is often on success—on the wins. But real leadership shows up in the losses, in how we steady ourselves and keep going when things get hard.

In this episode, I sit down with Losi, a singer-songwriter and entrepreneur, to talk about her journey. From pursuing a career in music to navigating major challenges, Losi shares her story with honesty and strength.

🎶 In this episode, we discuss:
🌟 Facing setbacks and finding resilience.
🌟 The emotional journey of pursuing a dream.
🌟 Creativity, change, and personal growth.

If you’re looking for an inspiring, real-life example of what it means to grow through challenge, this one’s for you.

It's a great day to be coachable, my friends.

Biggest change I need to make for myself is I kind of stopped reading books this past year since starting a company. But I've realized that reading long form has given me some of my biggest source of inspiration and new ideas/perspectives so not something I should be trading off
@eulerlagrange.eth said we should DM @dwr.eth about how we are the great founders...

This is still one of the best business books out there. If you have some time to read over the holiday break, I strongly recommend reading this book.

The people with the best self-control are typically the ones who need to use it the least. It’s easier to practice self-restraint when i don’t have to use it very often.

So, yes, perseverance, grit, and willpower are essential to success, but the way to improve these qualities is not by wishing i was a more disciplined person, but by creating a more disciplined environment.
