20VC: From Potato Farm to $200M in Revenue: The Never-Before-Told Story of Flo Health: Scaling to $1BN Valuation, 75M Users & Getting 100s of No's From Investors Along the Way with Dmitry Gurski

Again, I repeat my advice, never take general advice. General advice is always bullshit and everything is nuanced. I worked with my brother for 30 years or so if we start considering like our work from mushroom gathering or potato field work. And we always work together in book publishing, in all our ventures.

I remember that our first boss in publishing house, and it was 2005 or so, we worked together in publishing house. We were responsible for computer literature. He said that you should always work together because you're so different and when you combine Your personality is almost perfect because Yuri is good to make a path and you're good to make a road.

And you understand that I'm maybe too slow in deciding something, maybe indecisive, but then when I start doing something, I'm doing that perfectly. And Yuri, he is the opposite. He's kind of... idea generator, his venture driver, but he's not an operational person altogether. But when we have this combination, it's almost perfect and it works really well.
