On Integrity and Buckets

stuff

I’ll write a lot around my Korean childhood as I grew up there then immigrated to the US.  I don’t remember too many details now but some gems stick with me even as I’ve had decades to compare them to other proverbs.

One set of grandparents migrated to Manchuria and since they were living under Japan-occupied Korea, they could speak Korean, Japanese, and learned Chinese during their 10+ years in Manchuria and when I lived with them in the US, they were trying to learn English.  I always thought it was odd (but cool, neat) that despite the horrors they must have seen or experienced during colonial Korea, neither ever had bad things to about the colonizing countries nor the times they spent in Manchuria.  On the contrary, when they moved to the US, grandpa would always tune into Chinese and Japanese language TV shows and would laugh at all the jokes, clapping his hands then holding his stomach.  He’d also watch Korean shows, sure.  At times, he would be watching a Chinese language show and comment how cute he remembered the Chinese women to be when they lived in Manchuria.  Loud enough, I’m sure Grandma heard, but I also don’t recall her discussing this embarrassing comment.  Perhaps they had different tolerance levels but even as a 9 year old, I’m pretty sure I got embarrassed. If not then, every time I remember those scenes.  Grandpa did have nasty words for different regions of Korea though.  Not the North vs. South as we’d suspect now but East vs. West.  It was weird but apparently it was a thing.

Grandma had the gems though.  One, she said that we live and die with emotions.  I am still pondering that statement but I tend to agree.  We are emotional creatures.  They cause us to paint pictures, write poetry and songs.  And avoid the jerks.

Grandma’s second gem is the image I have in mind when it comes to integrity.  She used to say that a bucket that leaks inside the house, also leaks outside the house.  In business and finance, we speak of buckets all the time.  But imagine it as your integrity.  If your bucket is leaking when in private then you will most likely be a risk in business.  There was a sales training seminar I had attending years back.  One of the discussion partners was a woman who was going through a divorce.  Her husband was an executive somewhere.  She said everyone loved him.  He wore a great mask.  But at home, he was a monster.  Verbally abusive to her and kids.  Then her fear finally happened. He had struck their son.  She called the police and filed for divorce.  I was really proud of her for standing up for herself and her child.  No one deserves that kind of life.

In business, I am not sure why people reveal these during their conversation with me in private or in a private group setting: their sexist remarks, racist remarks, or how they know that they have to have the guts to cheat once in awhile to get things done.  Dude, I have a mom, a wife, a daughter, and nieces.  As you can see, I’m also a person of color.  You may not know that my son attends a Jewish school and I have tremendous respect for Muslims.  And Arab traders may have started some family lines in Korea.  And I actually believe in what Jesus said.  So thanks for sharing your moronic opinions but I’m not sending you business.  God have mercy on your soul.

Engage with me on twitter @charlesjo.  We are building the best startup community at www.startupstudygroup.com/slack and our members are not leaking buckets — inside the house nor outside the house.

Bootstrapping

stuff

One of the most interesting things about Peter Thiel is his challenge to people to not feel trapped in a straight jacket.  Yet, most founders I meet still are focused on the status quo model of product traction -> angel/seed -> VC -> IPO/M&A.  For an industry that prides itself on disruption, it seems that this is the road to travel.

Whenever I mention the bootstrapped model of Craigslist, people are surprised.  We all know what it is but its business model is not discussed.  Possibly because it didn’t make investors super rich.

I am curious what the founders and investors in the community think about the bootstrap model.  Are there other great examples of companies going independent outside the standard template?

I would love to hear feedback on Twitter @charlesjo. Or better, join us on SSG Slack: Invites http://bit.ly/joinssg + info http://bit.ly/coolssg

New Axe for Old Tribe

stuff

Growing up in Korea, we heard the Gold Axe, Silver Axe story which I later found out was descended from the Honest Woodsman from Aesop’s fable. For telling the truth, the honest woodsman is gifted the gold axe, silver axe, and his original axe. A greedy logger who sees the honest one get these, tries but ends up losing even his original rusted axe.  Maybe karma.

The second time I heard a story about an axe was in a Cultural Anthropology class in the US.  It was about an scientist who found a culture which had not invented the axe.  What an opportunity!  The scientist was excited to present this axe to the society to record how the people would jump to developing new tools using the axe  .  The scientist brought the axe to the people and surprise!

The people who used to spend maybe 8 hours to do the work around their village were able to get it done in about 2 hours with this new axe tool.  Guess what they did with the remaining hours?  Instead of working at using the axe technology to carve out a more sophisticated society, the men and women used the rest of the time for leisure.  Now they had all this time to relax, enjoy life.

Very simple lessons for me .  First, what axe type tools are available to us now that we are not maximizing to carve out the best future for us.  William Gibson said that the future is already here; it’s just not very evenly distributed.  Secondly, when we use the axe correctly to create meaningful robots and AI, we will be able to enjoy most of our waking hours instead of doing mind-numbing monotonous chores which we were not made to do.

Engage with me on Twitter (@charlesjo) and if you are a building the future with your axe, join my growing community of founders and investors at www.startupstudygroup.com/slack.

Focus & Feedback

stuff

There is nothing more annoying and simultaneously exciting than those who challenge your ideas and assumptions while you are trying to focus on building something awesome.  Or as I’ve heard some designers say insanely great.

For those of us with kids, it may be easier to understand.  Once you see the eyes of your first born open to see the their universe for the first time, you realize that the entire world has changed forever for you.  The world no longer is about your craving an In-N-Out cheeseburger but about what would make her have the most wonderful childhood.  Every day.  Every hour.

A question came up from my community at www.startupstudygroup.com about the value of blogging.  Rather than point them to my post about the topic, I argued that I see founders as people and that some need to write.  It’s been a great way for me to organize my ideas and communicate to those in my network.  I am selling without selling.  I share my thoughts on some topics and it may hit a nerve to those readers who then see me as a person rather than a pretentious “personal branding” hack trying to hashtag their way to nicer zip codes.  Ultimately, people want to connect with people.

Having said that, my encouragement for people in the startup community to blog is  to help them become more organized and efficient. Think long term networking for business and career.  But this should not take the bulk of your time when you are coding and shipping.  Focus.  Take care of your new born.  She needs to be held.  She needs to be fed.  You can schedule times for the In-N-Out burgers.

Engage with me on Twitter. I’m @charlesjo.
