He was the most fit out of all of us. He was at the gym. His heart gave out. And he passed on the way to the hospital. Oh, my gosh. And then again, you get that fucking phone call. And you're just like, no, this is a joke. Like, there's no way. No chance. No chance. And... That was a wake-up call for me.

And that mindset, and this is something I always try to take, and I've tried to tell founders this too, like, it's not my quote, but it's the one about the average of your five closest friends.

We've done a lot together.
