The Team: A Cohesive Force for America’s Future One of Donald Trump’s greatest strengths has always been his ability to assemble a dynamic team to execute bold missions. In today’s complex political and business landscape, collaboration among visionaries is critical. Imagine a powerhouse team featuring Elon Musk, RFK Jr., J.D. Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, and Vivek Ramaswamy. Elon Musk, with his unparalleled innovation in technology and space, brings disruption and visionary thinking, driving forward economic growth and technological supremacy. RFK Jr., carrying the Kennedy legacy, could bridge political divides, advocating for freedom and transparency in governance. J.D. Vance, with his understanding of middle America, would address economic revitalization and worker empowerment. Tulsi Gabbard offers diplomatic experience and military insight, crucial for foreign policy. Vivek Ramaswamy, a successful entrepreneur, would inject fresh ideas into economic policy and healthcare reform, fostering business innovation and deregulation. Together, this team could redefine America’s future trajectory, blending business acumen, political foresight, and innovation.

One of the most valuable things I learned in the IDF special forces was this rule: You can disagree with anyone, but only if you suggest an alternative. Sitting back and pointing out flaws leads to deadlock. Taking ownership and offering solutions pushes the whole team forward. At a company, it's way too easy to get caught in debates that go in circles. The real challenge—and opportunity—comes when we channel that energy into constructive solutions. The really hard part (but also the most important part) is creating an environment where criticisms aren’t seen as threats, but as opportunities to create something better. When people feel safe to critique and contribute, that’s when innovation really happens. Disagree? Great. But bring a new idea to the table, and let’s create something better together. Critique is easy. Contribution is hard. And contribution is what drives innovation.

CEO Hack: Give up the control of how to get things accomplished, and focus on the specifics of the outcome. There are numerous ways to accomplish any project or objective. Be in charge of the outcome, and let your talented team dictate the process.

Most founders: "I need to raise funding, and then I'll build a team" It's actually the other way around.  You need to attract your tribe before you build, and you need those people the believe in what you're doing.  Of course, this means that you have to be (or become) someone that other people believe in. You have to be a leader that attracts the kind of talent that can help you build your company vision.  If you can't get a few people to believe in the potential of your company, you can't expect investors and customers to believe either.
