I can make the money again. I can always join another startup. I can always figure out something else. I definitely had built myself a safety net so I could take that risk finally. So I did that and it'll probably end up being bigger than Uber by far.

You can kind of figure out they've just blown up a rocket on launch pad and they haven't figured that out yet. And that can give you an idea of timing. They haven't done that in a long time. So I feel lucky, but I also feel like it's because what I do with the money is

I'm going to go back to spirituality, that the universe tends to direct energy in places where people are doing good things with it. And so I think if I started doing bad things with it, my chances of luck diminish. I think the fact that I have a North Star, and so does my husband, and we believe in things like freedom, the US Constitution,

We believe in people being able to start businesses for ideas to flourish. I think these things are very important core values of ours. And it's possible that we are rewarded as such. Now, obviously, I can't prove it. But I really, really believe that I am a steward of capital that doesn't belong to me.

It is mine to deploy judiciously, but is mine to basically put into innovation and into nonprofit work to move the needle on this earth to make everybody's lives better ultimately in the end. And I believe that as long as I continue to hold that hope and I trust my gut feeling, which I believe is kind of divine, my ego is aside.

Like it's one of these things where I don't even think that I'm responsible for some of this. I don't know if you've read the Rick Rubin book. I compared myself to Rick Rubin online and I got a lot of backlash and it was funny to me because... Rick Rubin is very, very similar to me because we trust these feelings that we have to make decisions.

And for him, it's like, I found the Beastie Boys and no one's ever heard the Beastie Boys and they're going to love this. And I know I'm onto something. And for me, Travis Kalanick is the Beastie Boys.

Yeah. So a few years ago, I was an atheist and like many people during the pandemic, I had a lot of free time to sit and reflect on. I mean, some people, I hate to say this, but some people didn't have the time because they were obviously frontline responders, but I was fortunate enough to sit down and think like, why is this happening? Who am I? What is my place in the world?

And really, really figure out the why. Because for a long time, I really felt like we're supposed to just be good people, live a good life and make the best of it. And we just turn to dust in the end. And that's all there is to it. But the one thing I never tried was believing. I never tried actually having faith. You might ask yourself, how does one try? It's not trivial.

Like you can't just say today I try having faith. I actually had to figure out how to truly believe that the world is magical. And the moment that I truly believed that the world was magical, then the world became magical. It rocked the foundation of who I am. So I had a spiritual awakening today. And it's the only way I can describe it.
