He's been an investor that, from what I can see from the outside, that understood that huge technology waves were happening all over the world in different places. And he was a truly global investor. What he saw was happening in the US, he would invest in India, he would invest in Indonesia and across Asia and in all of these different places.

And I think very few people from the investment landscape have taken strong conviction on what technology is going to bring in the next 10 years and then found a way to place bets all over the globe.

At some point, we were spending more evenings and nights on the boat where the ceiling was falling apart than the fancy apartment. And we looked at each other and we said, why do we still have the fancy apartment? Now, we got a slightly nicer boat after that and home became a sailboat. And I've gotten this question from friends, never, I don't even know how you know this, by the way.

I've gotten a question from friends. For me, I think the same thing about living on a boat is exactly the same thing of wanting to move the world, you know, forward. And I think part of it is the drive of freedom, right? The freedom of options, the freedom of like, what can adventure in the future hold?

And then the simplicity of not, of just being with, you know, the person you love and your dog in a small space and you've got your good internet connection and you do your work. You know, all the other stuff doesn't matter. The watches, the cars, the houses, none of this stuff is ever going to be the things you think back on. It's the journey. And for me, a boat kind of allows for all of that.

It keeps life simple and it gets me, allows me to, you know, fully immerse myself in poolside. And I have to admit, since I started this company, I've been home less than a month. And so it's been a lot of travel, but it's the journey that matters. It's not the material stuff.

I did. I was lucky. I went through it in my early 20s. I got a lot of stuff. And then I got rid of all of it. For me, the sheer realization is that it's the journey with the people. The outcomes that we want to see in the world, they're part of the obsession. If you can see a future that looks like one that ends up being this incredible future, you want to build it.
