What I Learned From Matt

I recently have gotten to know Matt. He’s building a manufacturing startup.

I feel lucky to see him work up close - he has a lot of good traits I’d like to emulate.

He’s self-confident - he knows what he has and doesn’t doubt it. When questioned he doesn’t have the reflexive need to defend himself. He knows what he has.

He manifests - “were going to win because we’re excellent”. This is a manifestation. It’s pretty close to “we’re winners because win”. If you define yourself as excellent, you hold yourself to that bar, you manifest excellence.

He uses his twitter well - he is honest, he’s himself, and he uses it to fundraise. It’s a great combination, and what Yacine also does well. I’m going to emulate this.

There’s something about being in person you just can’t replicate, and getting to know people like this.
