NotjustdesignS2.Ep-9 (A FEW THOUGHTS ON INTENSITY.) by Tyler Hogge.In this episode, I take a read into an old blog that I have found interesting, exploring a crucial trait that sets exceptional startups apart: intensity.
Exploring its significance through observations, logic, and examples from successful founders, it uncovers why intensity is the driving force behind startup success. From Steve Jobs to Elon Musk, intensity manifests differently in each individual, yet it remains a common thread in their achievements.
