Then I found myself ordering Uber Eats every night, not eating healthy.
Now it's hard not to eat healthy because if I don't like something, I'm like, make something different. And it does sound a little douchey, but it's not. It really isn't. It's just a way. And by the way, I invited a lot of people over. It's not like selfish, I don't think. It's me being more for my people.

We don't care about anyone. They do care. They said, we bet on you. They remind me all the time. This is your baby. We bet on the best of the best. But what does that do to me? It puts all the onus on me. It makes every decision I think about that harder. It says, is this going to grow the company and the profit? Is this going to take care of the people? I asked Ara, the founder of Service Titan.

He goes, I had investors back then. He goes, I spent $100,000 sending the success managers out there because I bought into you.
