Itโ€™s official:

Bolt is now the first tech unicorn to permanently switch to a 4 day work week ๐Ÿš€โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Our 3 month experiment proved every core thesis:

Heightened
1/ Productivity
2/ Engagement
3/ Wellness

Weโ€™re never going back and hereโ€™s why ๐Ÿ‘‡
Before we dive in, a point on the nature of work.

Many companies are plagued with โ€œtheatre workโ€โ€ฆ ie work designed to โ€œlookโ€ good vs actually move the needle.

Countless meetings, confusing presentations, constant banter ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

The worst!

We reject theatre work at Bolt.
At Bolt, we donโ€™t care about how work โ€œlooks.โ€

We care about the only thing that matters:

The impact ๐Ÿ“ˆ

Did you move the needle this week?

Wow was 2021 wild ๐Ÿš€โ˜€๏ธ

6 breakout companies, books, and foundations.

But success is like an iceberg: 90% lies beneath the surface.

Too few show only the wins.

Instead, letโ€™s break down the โ€œhowโ€ ๐Ÿ‘‡
First, a key theme.

This year I learned an invaluable lesson.

Perhaps the most valuable there is.

That *everything* starts with self.

Improve your inner world, and the outer world will follow.

Ok here we goโ€ฆ
1/ Face the tough problems head-on

Hard problems are easy to ignore.

Who wants to address them head on? Uncomfortable!

Well... hereโ€™s the truth.

Kick the can down the road, and sign up for a world of hurt.

Product market fit, a thread:
Many founders come from accomplished career-paths or elite universities.

They really struggle with PMF.

Why?

Because in school or most jobs, the problem-set is defined.

PMF is completely undefined; there is no โ€œright answer.โ€
With PMF, there are no rules.

Thatโ€™s what makes it so brutal.

Like creating art, itโ€™s an open-ended act of creation.

Do people really love what youโ€™ve created?

With art and business alike, this is the only question that matters.

Building a company is like building an army:
Aside from physical violence, companies and armies are basically the same.

Each must be incredibly strategic about resources, attack plans, and alliances.

Each must keep their troops happy with either a righteous mission (missionaries), good compensation (mercenaries), or both.
Like a good attack-plan, companies must define their vector for attacking a market.

You might have heard that every software company is either a bundler or unbundler.

This is spot-on.

Some do more than incumbents while others do fewer things exceptionally well.

Friends --

Teaching someone to dance can change their life.

My nonprofit The Movement will teach 100k people how to dance in 2022.

Iโ€™m matching the next $1 million in donations received (all tax-deductible).

Here's why dance is the highest impact way to donate your dollars ๐Ÿ‘‡
1/ Teaching dance is really teaching self-confidence

Learning how to dance means means becoming comfortable in front of others.

It has done wonders for me personally and professionally.

Self-confidence is a gift that keeps on giving; one our dancers have for life.
2/ A dollar goes a long way with dance

All you need a floor and a speaker.

At The Movement, we fund free community and after school dance programs.

We pay for the instructors and venues.

Each class costs us under $100 and can teach 50+ people.

It is exceptionally efficient.

The CEOโ€™s job, a thread:
Before we dive in, an overarching comment.

The CEO only has one job: make the company successful.

Great CEOs realize this and operated knowing that long-term success is what theyโ€™ll be judged on.

Bad CEOs get caught up in how they โ€œappearโ€ short-term.
Like anyone else, the CEO is a human being with strengths and weaknesses.

The best CEOs are self-aware enough to play to their strengths and delegate the rest.

Bad CEOs hit a glass ceiling, lacking the self awareness needed to fill in their own gaps.
