Someone that's like worldly, I think offers

just a more interesting perspective to me about like how they go about being successful and whatever it is they're passionate about, because it's not just a straight line anymore.

I think there's so many things that shape a great founder or shape a great company.

I think it's more important to have that paranoia

deep within you that forces you to like live and fear your whole life or something that like allows you to be successful.

So it's tough for me because the itch, it was just like a survival thing or like proving people wrong more than, oh, I just want to do things.

I stopped painting when I was like 15 or something.

It wasn't like a sad day for me.

I'm moving on.

Yeah, I'm out of paint.

Like, I just don't really want to do this anymore.

It's more of a mentality thing of how you like search.

There was a feeling of that.

I felt like I was being chased also by people's expectation of what they thought, how things were going to end up.

Growing up in New York too, a lot of people grow on to be super successful much faster.

Sometimes you're like, oh my God, half my friends have jobs at great banks now.

And again, I'm like a nightlife promoter.

It sucks.

Also, like in high school, I mean, I wasn't like a loser in high school, but I definitely wasn't like the super popular kid.

Yeah.
