The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q their phone, on their computer, in their heart. They all love it. Um, I've had the founder of Y Combinator come on here talk about how she helped tons of, not tons, hundreds of companies grow. And here you and I are, I'm doing this little interview. You are clearly in the micropreneur space. Do you ever feel like I've got to bust out of this and go way bigger?

A Not very often, because I think that there's a couple things with that. Um, if you want to build a Dropbox, you're gonna have to build probably a thousand of them for one of them to succeed. And those odds, I'm pretty analytical, and those odds just didn't work for me. So, um, I, you know, I'm at the point where I'm still finding interesting things to do, still able to challenge myself and, and learn. I mean, that's kind of what I need to be doing, and I'm able to do that even with smaller businesses that are in the, you know, that are in the six or seven figure range, not the, not the billion dollar businesses. I do, I have mad respect for anyone like Drew, um, you know, or Mark who are playing in that space, uh, because it's obviously a real, a tough space to be in, in terms of, of success rate, but I like seeing, I like seeing repeatable things. You know, once I got a couple skills that I could repeat and build new businesses, I haven't really gone out of that zone. I've expanded my comfort zone, but, ah, never had the desire to, to, you know, I'm almost 40, I have two kids, I'm just thinking, man, I don't know that I have it.
