Yeah, I had no choice because I have no skills.

I'm not good at anything.

You know, I've got friends who are good at coding or good at editing or they're good at designing.

They've got accounting or they've got dentistry or something like that to fall back on.

I have no qualifications.

I've got a driver's license as my only qualification.

And all I'm good at is organizing teams and getting people in the room and getting them excited and essentially encouraging them to work with me and build something together.

So I kind of didn't have a choice but to keep playing the game, keep trying.

And by the way, I wouldn't change any of that.

Like there's no point there where I'd go back and say, actually, because where I am now, every single one of those crushing drops is where I really learned something that I leveraged today.

Yeah, it really does.

Yeah, it was amazing.

Like I can tell you what the moments feel like at the bottom and they're horrible and alcohol's involved and, you know, like wanting to just completely hide and, you know, never be seen by anyone ever again.

And then suddenly you go, okay.

I mean, I've got this friend of mine who's an entrepreneur who's failed several times and he says, you feel like you're on a tightrope and then you fall off the tightrope and you realize it was only six inches off the ground.

You know, it's not as bad as you think and you can hop back on the tightrope and you can go again.
