.@mansourtarek_ has a great metaphor for scaling a company: you're driving a ship as hard as you can, and there's always a hole leaking water somewhere. One kind of founder stares at it all day. Another throws a rug over it and tells everyone things are fine. Great founders stop waiting for calm water. They resign themselves to the holes constantly appearing, and get good at spotting the next one before it spreads. It sounds grim. It's actually the whole game. If you’re lucky enough to build a legendary company, the work will never end. The trick is to love what you do enough that you’re energized by fixing the holes. You can see it in @Kalshi's own progress: the CFTC lawsuit, then over-reliance on a few big brokers, then communicating clear lines between regulated markets and offshore ones. Solve one, the next is already taking on water.
