All of the failure points have been of us not being able to scale fast enough.

I've always focused on acquisition and growth, and I've tried to scale that.

But every time I've been successful with the acquisition and growth, I've actually seen failure points and cracks on my operations and delivery.

So I think the way I've approached it is to not think too much about it, but let that become a problem and then fix it.

So it has guided me to acquire where we can.

And then whenever we've had failure points, we step back then.

What can we be doing longer term to make sure that doesn't happen?

And how do we scale?

My name is Ashwin, and I am the founder of MobiusEngine.ai.

Mobius is really a solution to making the transition of one job to another really easy, effective and efficient for people.

That's the overarching goal.

And having been laid off twice, I had felt the pain.

And the first time I got laid off, I decided that if I was to ever get laid off again, I'm not going to go back.

into trying to get another job.

But I'm going to work on building the solution up.

At Google, I got laid off in 2023.

And I got laid off, I believe, on January 11th is when I got the email at 2 AM in the morning.

And I had just gotten up to get a glass of water.

And I saw my phone buzzing.

I saw the layoff news.
