I just posted this one facebook:
My fantasy
I’m sitting in a rodinhood open house in the 3rd row. A guy next to me says, “Hi, what’s your name? How long have you been a member of The Rodinhoods? Do u like it?”
I smile and say, “I’ve been an old member. Let’s talk post the session…”
I slowly slink away, walk outside the conference and cry tears of joy…
Founders become extinct when a real network is created.
I want to become extinct…
Thoughts for discussion:
– founders are important only to kickstart something
– the fact that someone is always better than you is reason enough to pass the baton
– true independence comes only when a company or brand or a movement is free of a person’s identity
– who knows off hand the people who started landmark forum or burning man or more importantly TED (i mean don’t go looking up google)
– making a founder extinct makes a movement almost perpetual!
