Most people avoid discomfort. I chase it.

Why? Because discomfort is a signal. It means you’ve reached the edge of what you know, and you’re about to learn something new.

That’s where growth happens. That’s where creativity lives.

In 2024, I challenged myself to do one thing every day that made me uncomfortable. It’s changed everything.

Growth doesn’t start with knowledge. It starts with courage.

It’s easy to be optimistic when everything’s working. It’s a lot harder when the numbers are flat, deals are slow, and your team is stretched thin.

But that’s exactly when optimism matters most.

Optimism isn’t about ignoring problems. It’s about choosing belief over fear, because your team takes their emotional cues from you.

As founders, we don’t just set the vision. We set the weather.

Startups grow up.

And just like parenting, if you keep trying to micromanage your business the way you did on day one, you’ll stunt its growth.

Early-stage companies need intensity and protection. Later-stage businesses need trust and systems.

⚡ Adapt your leadership style as the business matures.

AI has permanently shifted the value equation.

You no longer need degrees or decades to access knowledge, it’s already in your pocket. But knowing something isn’t the edge anymore. Doing something with it is.

Execution, speed, and creativity, those are the new differentiators.

And that’s exactly what British-American entrepreneur Matthew Joynes understands better than most.
He's:
• A film producer (Garfield, Marmaduke, Dragonkeeper)
• The inventor of GameVice (mobile gaming accessory)
• Founder of LifeMed AI, which replaces 90,000 medical billing jobs with 120 staff and a neural network
• A seasoned dealmaker with deep experience in tokenization, corporate structure, and capital raises

On the Parallel Entrepreneur podcast, he didn’t just talk disruption, he declared the end of knowledge as a barrier, and the rise of post-capitalist entrepreneurship: AI-driven, aggressively experimental, and globally scalable from day one.

So the real question is: What are you doing with what you already know?

What’s one insight you’ve acted on that gave you momentum? Share below, your execution might inspire someone else’s.
