What's up, everyone? This is Alex Lieberman, co-founder and executive chairman of Morning Brew.

Welcome back to Founders Journal, my personal audio diary, where I give you the business builder,

0:10.9

the tools you need to think better in order to build better, whether that's building a business,

0:15.4

a team, or a new product. So, I need to share an update, and that is, for the next little while,

0:21.0

we're going to be republishing classic episodes of Founders Journal. Two reasons. One,

because these are really good episodes that I spend a lot of time on, and with so many new

1:38.0

and the interests you have to stay engaged with what you're building needs to change as well.

And so, I generally bucket the job of the entrepreneur or the entrepreneur in two ways,

1:49.1

or, you know, two parts of the life cycle. Chapter one of an entrepreneur is what I call the

1:55.6

doer in chief, and chapter two of an entrepreneur is what I call the delegator in chief.
