I mean, that's how it should go. You know, when you create something in the world, Chamath, what you want to do is you want to hand it off to professional management to then scale it, right? Not everybody can do the creative act of actually forming something. You need to have these operators to go and then execute your vision.

He did all of these great speakers. Big thank you to our CEO, John, who put together all the operations. Nick did incredible. Nick did incredible, incredible job with those opening graphics. They went viral.

Do you think that you did better as moderator because you finally let go of just the conference organization?

What do you think?

Yeah, I think that you were able to focus on your unique value add instead of immersing yourself in a bunch of details that could be handled by the team.
