What Truth Set Matt MacInnis Free at Inkling?
at 1:07:36
Answer
On Below the Line with James Beshara, Matt MacInnis says one recognition set him free as CEO of Inkling, the company he founded and ran for nine years after seven years at Apple. Everyone is faking it. You look around and assume every other founder has it figured out. They do not, he says, and it is not something you ever finish figuring out. He admits he is faking it too. The place to say that is a chosen context, not in front of the whole company. He makes the same point about parents: someone can be 34, with a child, and still be at the very beginning.
