About this episode

<p>Y Combinator group partners Michael Seibel and Dalton Caldwell discuss the importance of having honest and difficult conversations with startup founders. While having hard conversations can be uncomfortable, Michael and Dalton argue that this transparency is essential for founders to grow and ultimately, these experiences help founders have their own hard conversations that they&#39;ve been avoiding with the people around them.<br><strong>Apply to Y Combinator</strong>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqazY3RGVfdFBLaFFnVXhSTzVKd3NTSDRKMlR4UXxBQ3Jtc0tsX0ozUUVhelJOQXlJSXNCSGhvZ1liOHE3ZUxWTEljNkhmOWI4NzZkWWRMeDhja3pIRC1IUS1CZVlkRFlrbE8wQVFYbERYVXlSdlJhTV9Wd1JDV09YelhxTzZIdFdrVmVGQnhSWEE3c1dnN2xFY3ZhWQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fyc.link%2FDandM-apply&v=rE2XaBGHN2I" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://yc.link/DandM-apply</a> <strong>Work at a Startup</strong>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbnA5VlE5Z2lnM2pjTXRMalAxVTkwN19DaXlWZ3xBQ3Jtc0trbGNwdnRGTVZMTmtQbHhvb0MwYlRibDNiWTNnd3lOdlJIRlVUYzJDRkgyeHdtZ1VDcUxJektOemF4a2M5bUdKVk1fbzFkalpYUW55RkU4UlZlRnN3MUoyd3ZGZEJpQjB6dUNzWXFNLXN1M2xQNWlWaw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fyc.link%2FDandM-jobs&v=rE2XaBGHN2I" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://yc.link/DandM-jobs</a></p>
