Yeah, we're in San Diego.

So we're not like your typical Bay Area or Northeast startup.

We're spending a few grand a month on rent in this great office space.

Market rates, we're paying people competitive salaries, but market rates down here are far cheaper than what you would expect in the Bay Area, Seattle, and the Northeast.

So dollar stretches a little bit further, which works in our favor.

Recently, I love Secrets of Sand Hill Road by Scott Cooper of Andreessen Orowitz.

Like I'm good at fundraising.

It helped unlock my fundraising superpowers.

So I'm really bullish on that book right now.

Yeah.

Oh, man.

Justin Kahn at Atrium is someone who I've really started to admire.

I think that he's taken a really thoughtful approach to how he wants to better himself as a person, a human, a husband, a father, but also as a CEO to his company.

And I really like engaging with this content.

Favorite online tool?

Slack.

I love Slack.

Uh, about seven.

I've really prioritized sleep over the last couple of years and seven is comfortable.

Yeah, this first one.
