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 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.

Maybe the most terrifying moment was like March 2020 with the onset of COVID. when i was thinking maybe the world is gonna stop we will have to basically fire you know almost everyone in the company to survive we were still bleeding money so it was a very hard moment but it it passed really quickly we realized that actually it's how do you deal with moments of intense stress

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.
