Short transcript excerpt from a YouTube 'short' where the speaker contrasts being a founder with being a CEO and explains personal preference to remain founder-focused rather than adopting a long-term CEO role. The speaker says they will remain involved in the next stage but does not see the CEO skill set as their long-term goal.

That's not to say I'm not willing to learn for the next stage. I'm still going to be massively involved, but I've never, long term, seen myself as like a CEO. That's never been my goal. I think I'm a founder, and I think there is a nuanced difference to that. You can be a founder CEO. Yes. But I do think the skill set is different. And the CEO skill set long term isn't necessarily something I feel like I have supernaturally.
