ADHD and founder salaries

In this episode, Andrew and Sean talk about living with ADHD and compensation as a CEO.

Show Notes

(0:22) Sean was recently diagnosed with ADHD, and that’s OK

(5:58) I’m not undisciplined, mom—I’m just wired differently 

(10:16) Wages as a CEO: How much should you compensate yourself?

(20:21) Stocks are steady, but business is more rewarding

(26:53) Sometimes, it’s the stupid risks that pay off (so go sponsor that esports team)

(30:36) Personal note: Rest in peace, Mike Murray
