Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
The Chainsmokers - Music & Markets - [Invest Like the Best, EP.430]

I mean, a comfortable job.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
The Chainsmokers - Music & Markets - [Invest Like the Best, EP.430]

Yeah.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy

My boss was like, you're what?

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
The Chainsmokers - Music & Markets - [Invest Like the Best, EP.430]

He was like, don't do this.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
The Chainsmokers - Music & Markets - [Invest Like the Best, EP.430]

You can come back.

When this doesn't work out, you know, it's appreciated.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy

But didn't want to go back.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy

But I think that was a big part of it.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
The Chainsmokers - Music & Markets - [Invest Like the Best, EP.430]

I think for us, we spent a lot of time trying different things.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy

I think that iterative process, but also being like really honest about it.

I remember making some song that sounded very much like an Avicii tonally song.

And we were like, this is fire.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
The Chainsmokers - Music & Markets - [Invest Like the Best, EP.430]

But then we're like, is it though?

I mean, I feel like Alex Porter-Redpoint said this to me in a really simple way, which is just invest in people that are going to do this idea no matter what.

Even if it fails, they're going to start it again from a different angle.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
The Chainsmokers - Music & Markets - [Invest Like the Best, EP.430]

I think then the question becomes, is this a step function better?

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
The Chainsmokers - Music & Markets - [Invest Like the Best, EP.430]

Or is this something that can potentially reshape the way that an economy or business or software or platform or service is used?

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy

Union Square Ventures does a really good job of how they think about investing at the edge of ideas.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy

And then those ideas hopefully become more central.

And then the TAM question answers itself, because if you figure that out, it's going to be humongous.
