I don't know. There is something inside me that is, it's a more powerful aspect of myself that tells me, no, this is the right thing to do. And I always did. And it was so hard for me to work in Microsoft, especially the last couple of years. Because I felt I'm doing as a compromise for myself just to be capable of building later what I want to build. But I didn't want to do it.

I felt so lonely, so depressed, so far away from the world that I like it. But it was a constant fight within myself because I believed that was the right thing. So there is a quest for the right thing.

I questioned the success most before actually raising any money. I bootstrapped the company for 10 years. Those 10 years were the most difficult. the moment I raised some capital, I got some people's trust in me, something changed in my brain and all the fear disappeared. I just went killing it. It never kind of stopped in a way.

Look, I have my own sorts of coping mechanisms. I like to write poetry. This is a thing that makes me forget a bit the source of stress and it dials into a creativity aspect. The stress is painful. You can put this pain into words. Finding the metaphor somehow alleviates for me this type of pain.
