Welcome to The Lemnist, the personal blog of Nathan Williams. 


The name of this blog is inspired by the Lemniscate, the infinity symbol. To me, it represents the endless journey of growth and learning that we undertake as entrepreneurs. No matter how far we've come, there's always more to discover and achieve.


My goal with The Lemnist is to share my experiences and insights as an entrepreneur, and to provide a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities that come with starting and growing a business. I want to focus on the things that you wouldn't find elsewhere, and to provide valuable insights that can help you on your own entrepreneurial journey.


One of the things that sets The Lemnist apart from other blogs is my commitment to incorporating AI into the development and operation of the blog. I believe that these new tools can help me to achieve more than I could on my own, and I want to explore how they can be used to enhance the content and experience of the blog.


I hope you'll join me on this journey and that you'll find The Lemnist to be a valuable resource on your own path as an entrepreneur. Thank you for reading!

Battery Passports e-book Review!

Image
My company, Minespider, recently released an e-book about electric vehicles, their supply chains, and battery passports. This is an important but complex topic so I thought I'd ask ChatGPT to help me summarize it. 1. According to the document, what is a battery passport? A battery passport, as described in the chapters, is a document or digital record that contains detailed information about a battery, including its technical specifications, design, performance, and history of maintenance and repairs. The purpose of a battery passport is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the battery and its behavior over time, which is useful for managing its performance and ensuring safe and efficient operation. The information in a battery passport can be used by engineers, operators, and maintenance personnel in the battery industry, as well as other stakeholders, to make informed decisions about the battery's operation and maintenance.  2. Who should read this e-book? The person

Is it time to herd some cats?

If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together.  I used to think of this with a focus on the second half. Like it was an admonishment to be patient and work with others to achieve more than you could on your own. Now that I'm a bit more experienced as an entrepreneur, I view it a bit differently.  I see it more as there's a time and a place for everything.  There are times to go fast, and there are times to go far. Both options have their pros and cons, and the key is understanding when each approach is most appropriate. One of the challenges many startups face is knowing when to go alone and when to bring in a team. As an entrepreneur, you'll have to make this decision many times throughout your journey. Both options have their pros and cons and understanding when each approach is most appropriate is essential. Going alone, also known as "solo entrepreneurship," can be a great option when you're just starting out. When you're first g

The challenges of a sustainable economy

Image
The urgency of the climate crisis has shifted the discussion on sustainability. Our economic model incentivizes growth and profit above all else, and we are starting to recognize that this cannot continue. Four out of five corporates have adopted a climate pledge, and almost all have some form of sustainability goals.  Nevertheless, in practice when the goals of people and planet conflict with profits, profits tend to win. It is a fundamental problem with the incentives of the economic system that companies who make more profit are rewarded, and the consequences for missing sustainability targets pale in comparison to the consequences for missing financial targets.  To that end, a number of different economic models have been proposed over the years that could better take sustainability goals into account. The Doughnut Economy, the Sharing Economy, the Steady-State Economy, the Circular Economy, and others have gained varying levels of interest but have had trouble gaining actual momen
