That's pretty smart.

So my wife would say that I have a low attention span.

And what she means by that is I'm interested in a lot of different things.

And this is a really cool way of getting to learn about tons of new stuff.

I suspect this is the same reason that you like to invest is how lucky are we?

We get to sit and spend time with the entrepreneurs who are building the most interesting companies in the world right now.

We get to learn about the most cutting edge technology stuff that if you were in the public markets or just in a job, you would never get a chance to learn about.

So I love to learn and I love to be around great founders as they're exploring really interesting things.

So that part of it is really, really attractive.

There's another part that plays to a totally different side of me, which is this business is a scoreboard business.

And I convey this to our team all the time.

There's a scoreboard in this business and our expectation is that we win.

Now it's a very long dated scoreboard, especially in the venture side, but on the growth side even.

It's a pretty long dated scoreboard.

But at the end of the day, we have to put up returns.

Our customers are founders and are LPs.

And on the founder side, we need to make sure we do a great job with them.

And there's a virtuous flywheel if we do.

On the LP side, it's pretty simple.

Are we doing a good job generating returns?
