It’s easy to love the idea of a great team, a close family, or a thriving community, but loving the actual people in it takes more work. They have different priorities, frustrating habits, and opinions that don’t line up with yours. Founders running hard after a vision can easily find themselves at odds with the people around them when they aren’t perfectly aligned. I want to build things that matter, but I don’t want to become so attached to my vision that I miss the people right in front of me.
