About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of relentlessness and taste as key skills in business, referencing insights from Tim Grover and Sarah Guo.

Relentlessness and Taste might be the two most important skills in business today. "A Cooler wonders what’s going to happen. A Closer watches things happen. A Cleaner makes things happen.” - Tim Grover "The best founders understand that taste is a competitive advantage that compounds. It runs deeper than pixels — it’s in your codebase, your culture, your cap table." — Sarah Guo
