The Jonathan Herzog Podcast

Two Words: Boca Chica. The 400 sq-ft rental that Elon lives in.

Why make the money?

Why 10x your money?

If it's not to get the stuff?

If it's not to build the next thing?

Consider: making something that helps people - the money is the strategic byproduct - and why 10x? To blow your own mind. To evolve. To become more of who you are. To be an example of what's possible with the Algorithm.

Capital is not your constraint. Your Compelling Reason is. The founder who...

Why is it taking your enterprises so long to onboard, uptake, integrate, transact?

Because you're doing something wrong in your closing process.

This podcast tells you how to fix it.

It matters what you DECIDE TO DO NOW.

Let go of the f*cking past. With love.

It all happened perfectly. It was meant to happen that way. Because it did.

It's like signing up for the gym, working with a personal trainer, university, or anything - and not showing up to the workouts, the classes, or the course at the start.

No one cares.

Don't double down on the doubt, the fear, the insecurity, the nonsense.

If you're going down the wrong path - no matter...

Back by popular demand, it'sLife or Death: The Secret to Closing Fortune 100s

Your closing process in a nutshell:

Think of yourself like an ER doctor where the patient presents

He’s got cardiac arrest, a sprained ankle, a broken toe, a gash in his right arm, and bleeding from his forehead.

Triage. Focus on the High-Variance shit first, then everything else.

You know it’s life or death - the patient’s life or death is in your hands.

Goldman Sachs got branded a "vampire squid" in 2009 — an image that stuck because Goldman is transparent about what it is: a bank that trades against clients, prices deals to its own advantage, with conflicts of interest. Everyone assumes Goldman is optimizing for Goldman. That assumption is priced into every interaction with them.

VCs runs the same playbook - portfolio-construction, LPs as the real client, founders as one bet among thirty, diligence that's sometimes decorative - but wrapped it in founder-friendly language: "we're operators, not suits," "we're partners," "we're mission-driven," Patagonia vests instead of pinstripes. The product is th...

The Upper Limit Problem (ULP) - the evolutionary hard-wired default mode of the brain which says we can only have a limited amount of success.

Have you hit an upper limit?

E.g,: Getting sick before an important pitch. Starting a fight with your spouse after raising a round. Yelling at your kids after closing a customer. Signing a terrible term sheet and giving power away to a board member or misaligned investor.

The problem:

We have a limited tolerance for feeling good. When we hit our Upper Limit, we manufacture...

Autotelic: The Work Is the Glory

Autotelic (adj.) - having its purpose in itself; done for its own sake; done simply for the joy of it.

Is that how you'd describe a Tuesday in your business?

If you only enjoy business when it’s up and to the right, you’re doing it wrong.

If your work isn't autotelic, someone else's is.

Someone, somewhere is doing the unsexy work and actually loving it. Not enduring it. Not "grinding through" it. Loving it, because they've made The Work itself The Glor...

Objections are bugs your investor / customer / employee’s / wife’s codebase.

It is your job to refactor them.

Reflect the thought error back to them.

And help them get what they want.

One of the biggest lies is “I have to talk to the team.”

All objections - time, money, talk to someone - are euphemisms for “I haven’t been compelled to see the value - yet.”

Who is the Errol in your life?

The dad you said you’d never amount to anything, who sided with the bully, or the mom who made her love conditional?

The reason most founders sell and you never hear of them again - or they become some empty VC or tweeter - is because they Never learn to harness or leverage their trauma.

Who is the Errol in your life?

Some learn to transmute that into love and give that love to the world in a way they didn’t receive.

When it feels scary, gag and go.

The fear is not a stop sign. That is the go signal.

That feeling means you are at the exact threshold that matters.

The threshold where the next step function transformation lives.

Every part of the 94x SpaceX multiple is a receipt for what happens when the founder refuses to stop at the threshold.

Down about your down round?

The only real down round is when the founder is down.

And then so down that he chooses to officially go down.

Not because of capital - capital is never the constraint.

Because he loses belief.

In himself first.

The only down round is death itself - but by then you’re already six feet down under,.
