This Week's Reading List 📚

What I Learned About People that Scale(9min)
Pedro Franceschi, the founder of Brex, shares his thoughts on people that scale. To scale, you need to reinvent your core beliefs, pick the right role models, be authentic, and listen to your feelings. The biggest leap of faith of all is having faith in yourself. Things will go wrong, and you’ll feel like a failure many times. But don’t assume that you can’t scale just because you haven’t done the job before. The truth about successful startups is that no one really has.

Why We Should Learn in Public(8min)
Learn in Public is an investment in your & human society’s future. If you share the process of learning online, you will receive much more feedback than sharing in print. That will accelerate your learning. Also, everyone has unique experiences and learning and it’s valuable for someone in the world. Unless it appears, it’ll be just lost and it’s also a loss for human society. That's why we need "Learn in Public".

Keep Them Coming Back: 23 Habit-Making Insights for Product-Minded Founders(40min)
A common challenge for founders is aligning product performance metrics to the true user experience: how they think, how they feel. Time and again, every great product leverages an insight about human psychology. The best founders are great studies of humanity. They are great studies of people and they are really great psychologists.


See you next week ;)

Best,
Kei and Kazuki
