Because one of New Zealand's greatest entrepreneurs, I think, Sir Peter Beck from Rocket Lab.
I've had him on the podcast.
I've got a quote from him.
He said, you don't achieve anything big on an eight to five Monday to Friday schedule.
To achieve something big, it has to be all-consuming.
I've been listening to other podcasts that you've been on in the past week.
There's even a story you told about being at home late at night on New Year's Eve one year, like watching fireworks out the window.
I think you may have been crying at the time because you were busy working.
Do you have many friends, or have you had to sort of put them on the back burner for this chapter of your life?
Yeah.
And your relationship with work-life balance now, is it quite healthy?
Because you got some heat a while ago for doing a LinkedIn post saying that you worked 365 days straight.
But also...
There's that saying, don't yuck someone else's yum.
We all get 24 hours in the day, and you can spend those 24 hours however you choose.
If you want a healthy work-life balance, maybe being an entrepreneur or having a startup is not for you.
Yeah.
So this idea came about because you and your friends were all exhausted and stressed with uni exams.
In hindsight, what's more stressful, uni exams or the early years of being a founder of a startup?
Yeah, it's only four years old.
