Okay, another day. We're in the home stretch, almost at the weekend. It is Thursday, April 23rd. This is Alex Lieberman, the co-founder and CEO of Morning Brew, here with another edition of the Founders Journal.

For those of you who haven't listened to the Founders Journal yet,

this is basically four years in the making of me wanting to journal the

experiences of being a first-time founder. The great things, the bad things, the things

that I didn't think about at all and I just just did on autopilot but I'm hoping that other

entrepreneurs other people who want to be entrepreneurs can learn from my

lessons connect with me I hope you enjoy today's episode and I hope to

inspire you.

All right, what's going on today?

How was your live with Noah Kagan earlier?

The live with Noah was great. It was the longest

LinkedIn Live I've done to date. Normally these things are 15 to 30 minutes but it was

57 minutes and the only reason that we stopped was he had a hard stop at 4 o'clock but it was such a good conversation it was

the most engaged I've seen a LinkedIn live audience and he's just an extremely impressive human being

and what it made me realize from the conversation

is I need to be really purposeful in finding a few more Noah Kagan's in my life to talk to more frequently.

So this was the most impactful part of your day already? Definitely the most impactful part of your day already?

Definitely the most impactful part of my day because I think it just made me realize that one I can't

put pressure on myself to be doing thoughtful, you know, vision creating work as a founder every single day.

I don't think that's realistic because candidly a lot of my job is a lot of doing and not thinking. Like even though Austin and I are at a higher level in the business in terms of thought, there's still so much executional work we do. But the conversation with Noah just made me realize that I need to make sure I'm

I'm allocating more time in my week to spend time thinking rather than doing and talking to more people that make me think deeper, and Noah's one of those people and he has such an impressive background but I think he's one of those people that not only has an impressive background but there's so much substance as well.

Why do you think he has that perspective? background, but there's so much substance as well.
