As @nntaleb states, becoming ANTIFRAGILE includes developing physical strength. Strength is a skill and contrary to popular belief, you don't need to be massively muscular to be strong. In fact, the biggest and most muscular guys you see (aside from ass needlers) will often NOT

Good start-up founders I talk to tend to be really receptive to advice and curious, but will put me in my place if they disagree. They're open but not 'yes people' and will be honest to your face, not behind your back. You need that strength to win in this market🤟
