It's like people will, they're not going to be told what to do.

They just take matters into their own hands.

And this is a very rare trait, right?

Like you obviously had this trait when you could have just done the normal thing for a 19-year-old to do or however you were.

You were younger than that when you started.

Yeah, it's like what you did is not normal.

You had agency and said, I am going to not do the normal thing.

I'm going to go like email every famous VC to death and get them to talk to me.

And like, you know, it's premeditated.

pretty incredible what you've done.

That's a very rare trait.

You find people like that, that are hopefully experts in their domain.

And I think this is why the specialty thing that I mentioned is very, very important.

I believe that there is a certain level of consensus around who has agency and who is an expert in the domain.

If you talk to an amazing entrepreneur, it's like, wow, this person knows everything about this.

They've studied it for decades.

They've read every book about it.

They've talked to every entrepreneur who's tried this before.

You have to give them money.

That's our job.
