So I did have some of that, but I spent time building internet infrastructure. You go back to when cloud computing didn't have a name, the provision on demand, your pay-as-you-go model that's just part of everything we do. The first shipping instance of that was at the company where I helped to start part of the company, and we beat Marc Andreessen by one day.

So I've been deep in technology infrastructure. I ran the web and internet engineering program in Silicon Valley to teach engineers how to build Web 1.0. So I'm just like a deep, deep nerd who's desperately trying to keep my brain and my body working so I can do the tech stuff that I love. That's insane.

I knew about early stuff, but then I could have talked more about the OSI model and TCPIP protocols and window sizes. No one knows what that is unless you're a network engineer. So that was my thing, not e-commerce. But then when Salesforce was eight people, they came to us and helped them build their infrastructure. When Google was two guys and two computers, they came to us.

When the Facebook was eight computers, they came to us. When Hotmail was eight computers, they came to us and we built all that stuff out and we held it in our buildings and built the networks. So that's what I was doing, not learning how to sell T-shirts online. So I wasn't an e-commerce expert.

But what I was an expert at is technology and understanding the fundamental drive of humans because I was so close to zero. And the way I really got going, I hired a 23-year-old. Okay, now I'm a VP at a big company. Mm-hmm. I'm working my ass off. I have two young kids. I just moved to a new country, to Canada. And I'm very busy as a father and as executive.
