Episode 139: Alex talks about the unsung hero of startups: boring work. He shares how society forgets that much of entrepreneurship involves doing boring work privately, to become celebrated publicly. He also breaks down three under-discussed aspects of boring work:

  1. It’s an unavoidable part of building a business, especially in the early days.
  2. Some founders stay in boring work for far too long, even when they no longer need to.
  3. Boring work is a gift that every entrepreneur should feel grateful for.
