Good CEO // Bad CEO
At an early-stage startup, the founder does everything.

Read by people who don't read most newsletters.
This newsletter was the exact message I needed this morning as I head into my board meeting.
I ignore most newsletters, but I read yours. You have a refined ability to discern what's excellent, elegant, and meaningful, and to ruthlessly exclude what isn't. You have both taste & judgement. Extremely rare.

Signal // Noise is one of only a couple newsletters that I actually look forward to reading every week.
