Great companies are built on transparency, trust, and fostering a sense of purpose among employees, which requires a leader to prioritize people over rigid, short-term management goals.

“people don't trust them people don't nurture them because they're too busy being selfish nurturing themselves”

Company culture should be built by leaders who are vulnerable and open because it ultimately enables employees to be higher performers and happier in their lives.

“allowing the space and the culture within companies to to be who you are and to know the things that matter to you ultimately allows people to be higher performers which ultimately means that they'll do better in their jobs and they'll be happier in their lives”

Company culture should be built by minimizing administrative bloat through the systematic removal of recurring meetings and communication channels.

“once every couple a year and a half or so we randomly delete all recurring meetings we're actually gonna do random deletion of slack channels and all these kind of things just because they will come back if they are useful”

Maintaining a clean company culture requires rigorous standards for hiring and quickly removing individuals who are not a good fit.

“My company culture is working well enough to say, okay, when people are not doing what they say, when they're blaming other people, they're not working as part of a team, they're out. And it's created a lot of peace in the company.”
