    LOW TRUST IN UKRAINIAN AND RUSSIAN WOMEN

    (and high trust in western men)

    Many of us know that Ukrainian women are probably the best in the world by every measure, because they treat femininity as both an art form and as an expression of power.

    The problem that you encounter, and that I did not understand, despite my fascination with trust, is that from a westerner’s perspective all these women are ‘broken’.

    Meaning that acts of service or kindness are a matter of duty, manipulation, or resentment, but not of affection, trust-building, and care-taking, and demonstration of commitment.

    So while you get a woman who is more beautiful, patient, feminine, and sexual, you also get a woman who feels ‘distant’ by our standards.

    Conversely, from their perspective, western men are pussies – we are broken. We don’t decide, we compromise. We don’t demand, we ask. We don’t fight trivialities, we turn the other cheek. We lack confidence – and we are weak.

    We value each other as rare exceptions to a lifetime perception of the gender in our cultures, but we remain distant because of these differences.

    -Curt.

    WHAT I LIKED ABOUT BUILDING CONSULTING COMPANIES

    A consulting company is little more than an intelligence organization that collects information from various organizations and uses it to sell solutions to different organizations where they gain new information and repeat the process.

    I love it because I learned so much every day. You get paid to do basic research on the operations of various companies. You are paid to collect information that most companies work to hide from the outside world.

    The price is volatility. You have to be able to tolerate that visibility. Consulting companies react early to economic fluctuations expanding quickly in booms and contracting quickly in recessions.

  • BLANK: A STARTUP IS A SEARCH FOR A BUSINESS MODEL (1) SEARCH: Search for a busin

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RTcXwJuCaUSTEVE BLANK: A STARTUP IS A SEARCH FOR A BUSINESS MODEL

    (1) SEARCH: Search for a business model (Founders from dysfunctional families have an edge in the search for a business model.) BUT: The day your company finds that business model, the VCs see you as valuable, and they want to know if you’re the executive to take them to liquidity – operating execs.

    (2) BUILD An operating exec knows how to scale a company from startup to scaled production. Build out the team.

    (3) EXECUTE: Execute on your business model.

    These may be three different people.

    FOUNDERS RUN PATTERN RECOGNIZERS

    At the end of the day it is not a spreadsheet problem. We are looking for opportunities to develop patterns. It is not about execution based upon numbers, but it is at finding and SEIZING opportunities, and turning them into business models.

    SMART PEOPLE ALSO MASTER LYING

    The people with the greatest verbal ability are just as likely evenly distributed as the people with the greatest spatial, empathic, and physical ability. Meaning that if a group of people produces excellent spoken and written ideas, they are equally if not more so capable of producing the most excellent spoken and written lies.

    The evidence is what it is.
