I don't...

I don't want them to have all that money anyway, you know?

So I want to live an awesome life where I'm a good and present father.

And to me, that looks like focusing less, not more.

What if you focused for the next 10 years, you made it to a billion dollars on one thing.

And then because you've done that, you can take even more sort of experimental bets on

with higher risk and more enjoyment and more sort of pleasure-centric bets over the next 40, 50, 60 years of the rest of your life.

Yeah.

I just don't think that that juice would be worth the squeeze.

I think that those bigger bets that I take will just amount to more meetings and more travel and more time away from my kids.

And I don't like, it might sound controversial, like I'm not trying to change the world.

Like, I want to help people start businesses, and I can do that with my iPhone.

And that will change the world, right?

But I'm not trying to solve world hunger.

I think that's someone else's problem to solve.

And so I just want to be a good dad and work on really cool things.

And it's been a grind to get here, right?

Like, I've had more years with zero income than I've had before.

up years, right?

But my up years have more than compensated for my down years.
