Hey Doug, I've got to figure out how you and I can plan a discussion enhanced with good bourbon or small cask whiskey on this and other subjects.
Looking at your points, for me consistent authenticity across life, must remain evident in a leader's life. Its not something you pick up at the door. Its part of who you are, it you don't question it. Inner integrity and humility don't get replaced by smooth talking, big dreams and overstated capacity in front of the VC crowd or other stakeholders.
To be transparent and authentic is a commitment, a life choice, for which you are tenacious in remaining true. Humility is either modeled for you, or learned through failures and realization that the greater us, mightly surpasses our best 'me.' Assembling a circle of 'elders' -- wise people (women and men) from whom you regularly seek inputs as a practice is so insightful. Personally and I have not been standing in front of potential VC investors, I make it make practice to talks about strengths but feel that stating obstacles, challenges and to be improved upons are a part of transparency. Your last point on the spin doctors has never personally been of interest to me.
Look forward to a tumbler or two at some point in the future. be well,
