We tend to think of the world as a hierarchy, but really it’s more of a mesh network.

When you are an employee you think you are not at the top of the hierarchy because you have a “boss”. Then you open your own small business and quickly realize that you now have a dozen “bosses” and have to spend a lot of time looking for more! Then you decide to raise a bunch of money for a new business, and find that every so often you have to explain yourself to a group of investors. Unless you want to go live alone in the woods, you’ll always be accountable to someone.

Those who are at the top of one hierarchy are at the bottom of another. When you zoom out you’ll see that the world is a mesh network.

Don’t try to avoid accountability, just be a good person and do work that you love 🫶
