Brothers - 5 traits shared by Simon about his bro Nick Molnar of Afterpay that led to a $39b exit


• No ego. Nick’s greatest trait is his ability to come up with an idea and convince you that it was your idea first. It doesn’t matter who owns it if it gets the outcome.

• No limits. Nick thinks without ceilings. Everything is possible. Think big and figure the rest out.

• “Make it a no brainer”. At Afterpay, Nick made sure customers and merchants had no reason to say no.

• There’s a job to do and you don’t rest until it’s done. After a $39bn exit, it would have been easy to sail off into the sunset but Nick is working harder today than he was pre-acquisition.

• “Know your superpower”. Lean into what you do better than anyone else.


I love David Shein’s 6th Trait 


• how to remember that despite all your success your pee is still the same color as everyone else’s!!!
