Lots of these people exist. They’re small business owners that aren’t chasing huge profits, but have built something both profitable and sustainable without compromising their free time.
Sadly, we normalise the “founder” as someone chasing after Google and Amazon, rather than the person that didn’t want to work for someone, built something that people like, and are able to live off of what they make from it. I’ve watched people build tools for fewer than five clients, stick a retainer on lifetime support, and live off of a modest salary that lets them work fewer hours than a normal job, with a good enough salary that they are protected if business goes south and they need to find a salaried job.
Ah, clearly written by a man who himself reads “book” every day. Yay, Book!
You haven’t read Book written by Author, yet?
I was a fan of Author’s early works, but lately it’s all been downhill.
Wake up, read the word “book”, done.

So he’s looking for an unemployed person who is already rich.
Step one: inherit a ton of wealth.
Step two: dabble
how many hours are in this man’s day
The message doesn’t mention work at all. I could easily do all of those things if I didn’t have to work myself.
“doesn’t compromise on sleep” = sleeps 4 hours every other day
Dude never said how much profit the founder has to make. Anyone with a company that only does a small amount of paid work every couple weeks qualifies. Even after overheads those are probably profits and the founder has plenty of time for his numerous hobbies and pristine sleep schedule.
Not sure what kind of ROI this entrepreneur expects from investing there but hey, it’s his money.
Or maybe you can combine activities: Running and making profits by stealing and running away?
Linkedin is this place where I cringe so hard every time I read something. It’s hard for me to understand how people can be so much into the matrix.
I liked the term npc for these people. Non player characters. They are just like Ai generated spam.
It’s like in a game and you walk up to a npc and he is a very stereotypical character with no surprises, no depth to his character at all, just surface level attributes. He talks about obvious things as if they were somehow unique or special. It’s like he was born yesterday. He doesn’t have the ability to see through his own programming and believes everything. He views himself as a “professional” and wears a suit or tries to imitate Steve Jobs.
This is how I feel about these linkedin people. Lols.
The corporate grindset. It really is a different world for these wannabe c-suite politicians that live in their insulated world.
I assume much of it is performative too.
