Influence comes in levels

People with influence come in levels. Below a certain point, their influence is just transactional. 

They just have a following “for business” and can’t risk it to have the important discussions. 

Over a certain level- some have just made it a point to eliminate friction. I respect that too. I think some founders just want to do good work and don’t have time to open up the tsunami. 

I think, if history is predictive, they’ll eventually have to discuss or they’ll become governed by crazy people who don’t understand the way the world works.
