And usually the answer is no.

And the reason I like this concept of life's work so much, which I would define as a lifelong quest to build something for others that expresses who you are.

All three parts are really important.

Say that one more time.

A lifelong quest to build something for others that expresses who you are.

And

We have trained ourselves to see this in people.

By the way, the best way to figure this out, my favorite question for founders is literally just give me two hours, tell me your whole life story up until the point you founded your company.

We'll talk about your company later.

Like, just tell me what got you to here.

Back to best story wins, originality, hardship, transformation.

In the business context, it's I want someone that's lived a very unique path

I find success in startups is the result of path dependency very often.

Some unique set of lessons and experience led to you being the right person to do this thing.

And then hardship, of course, the harder the business is to build, the harder it will be to copy.

I think that's really important.

Transformations about the customer.

If you build something crazy hard, the customer's life will get way better service.

So I think this powerful concept of life's work can be applied to ourselves to make great investments.

And it's really rare, but the leadership qualities of life, like the reward for great work is more work.
