You can plan maybe a bit less aggressively, but more consistently. I think it's better to plan and execute a growth of 30% year over year rather than 80%, 60%, 30%, 20%, 10%. Because in a way, doing such a huge aggressive growth makes you maybe sometimes steal from the future. Not knowingly, but you discover in time. An organic growth in a public market, it's better rewarded.

There are stages where founders mode work better. When I hired Rob, he's actually a great guy. But when I hired him, I didn't realize that we were still at the stage where founder mode is essential. I thought we are at the stage where we are more established and we need an experience that is stage appropriated for something bigger than us.

Yeah, but Larry and Senge didn't get back to the CEO job. No, but they've come back. Actually, I never left the company. I ran product and engineering directly while Rob was co-CEO and CEO. I almost think that's harder with respect to you.

Look, my way is to speak really transparent to the teams. This is where we are, guys. It's a lot of work ahead of us. We made these mistakes. We have to fix these things. It's not easy.
