Here are the three smartest things I read this week (on LinkedIn)
I read a lot on LinkedIn (maybe too much).
However, it’s rare to find posts that stay in your mind long after you’ve closed the app.
Here are the ones that did that this week (links in the comments):
1️⃣ Johnson Gill — “Decades happen in months.”
Probably one of the best posts I read for a while.
Johnson breaks down the myth of overnight success with perfect examples (and some of my heroes): Alex Hormozi, Gary Vaynerchuk, Simon Sinek, MrBeast, …
All of them showed the same pattern: Years of obscurity → years of unseen practice → one moment of ‘sudden’ visibility.
A great reminder to stay consistent, especially in the boring, unglamorous phase.
2️⃣ Donna Chen — Private credit is quietly taking over finance
Donna explained something most founders completely underestimate:
credit is becoming the new power tool.
Super valuable post for founders. And for anyone trying to extend runway without giving up ownership.
Her post was another masterclass in how financing structures are evolving.
I featured Donna last week already, but her insights are consistently so sharp that I’m always excited when the next one drops (Thank you!).
3️⃣ Byron Grealy — Stop selling features. Sell the solution.
This is something I see everywhere in Web3:
People talk about the tech, not the outcome.
His line “you should be able to explain what you do to a 12-year-old” is something I now have stuck on my mental wall (and something I have to practice too).
And it’s exactly why we’re pushing to make Cronos Army the most blockchain-based game where you never feel the blockchain. People don’t buy features — they buy simplicity, clarity, and results.
Overall, the posts hit different angles — finance, consistency, communication — but together they form a picture:
Build deep. Stay patient. Explain simply.
That’s the mindset I’m taking into the next weeks.
