Anne and Matt compare two founder mindsets: Anne thrives on preparation and systems, while Matt embraces last-minute decisions and unpredictability. From hunting flight deals to playing high-stakes poker, they unpack how different approaches to stress and planning reveal much deeper truths about entrepreneurship.
