How to Keep Winning

always been fiercely competitive. I enjoy everything about itâfrom
training to get better, to building and developing teams, to the
stress, pressure, and intensity. And while I love winning, there are
very few things I dread more than losing. It just feels awful. This
meant that I had to get good at constantly not losing. Here are six
tactics and principles I learned along the way to protect against
failure and keep winning.
Almost everything else you can come back from except death. I'm using
"death" both literally and figuratively to mean the point of no
return. First, know the death boundaries, and obsess over the extreme
downside scenarios and prioritize survival. Visualize all the ways you
could dieâall the time. In that way I'm very careful, almost
paranoid. I ran Replit for eight years with little commercial success,
but at no point did we ever get to the red zone when it came to
runwayâwe always had plenty of cash on hand. You'd be surprised by
the number of brilliant founders that reach out to me for advice when
they're three months from death.

Long lines have formed at food pantries across the U.S. as federal
food benefits were cut off due to the government shutdown. People are

when benefits will resume, causing fear and confusion. Food pantries
