Video folly: Because every founder deserves some comic relief now and again.

We’ve decided to lighten things up a bit. Not because we think our content is too serious. It’s just that this founder thing is really tough.

As one entrepreneur I interviewed recently told me:

“Being a founder is a bi-polar emotional experience. I go from being the ‘ebullient enthusiast’ for my investors, to the ‘kind, yet-tough-talker’ with my employees. Or is it the other way around? I can’t remember. But I’m either slapping a smile on it and telling everyone that everything is GREAT!! Or I’m trying to find the words to tell them the uncomfortable truth, like the product isn’t ready; they’re getting fired; that another VC said ‘No.’”

Since you can’t take a break from this founder gig, we figured we’d give you one — in a punch line. And who can’t use a good laugh for perspective once in a while? So here it is, direct from Beastartnow.com, “How to Create a Startup in 5 Steps”

If you have funny founder videos or jokes to share with Found|READ, by all means send ‘em on. After all, keeping each other in good spirits is a ‘best practice,’ too.
