IN PRAISE OF QUITTING

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

A former lawyer quit right before making partner and shut down her startup when it wasn't going to have the impact investors expected - and says quitting is her superpower. Life is like tournament poker, where you get one stack of chips, so don't waste them on barely positive-value bets just because you're afraid to fold. Most founders stay too long in failing ventures because quitting feels like locking in a loss, but here's the reframe: imagine you were instantly unsubscribed from everything in your life, then ask what you'd actually subscribe to - you'll find most of your current activities wouldn't make the cut.
