I think there will be a lot of money made in

Thanks for having me on.

You know, as I reached the end of what was definitely my dream job, I loved being a venture capitalist, but I reached a point where I decided it was time to hang up my boots and it was time for me to move on and leave the field for younger people to succeed.

I felt a calling to write this book and it was something that I had stumbled upon like eight years ago, an idea that had popped into my head.

I used to write a lot of blog posts and when I would get an idea, I would scratch it down and sometimes it would become a post.

A lot of times it just was living in a document

And this one was an idea that came to me.

And I had read these three biographies and noticed that these three people had all done similar things.

And I wrote down the notes.

I then got invited to give a speech at the University of Texas here in Austin.

And I put it together and gave that speech.

And then a number of people saw that speech, probably most notably James Clear.

And

people then started pushing me, you know, one day you should make that a book.

And as I reached the end of my career, you know, and I, I, people had talked to me about writing a book before you're right.

I could have written about investing.

I could have written about tech.

I could have written about venture capital.

I could have written about Uber.

And, um, this was just, just felt more personal to me.
