In a world where this is ubiquitous, suddenly instead of hiring a hundred associates, I only hire ten.
And how do I think about future partners and who to promote if I don't have a big pool?
And so I thought that mindset shift was really interesting.
And to your point, I feel like it's percolating into all these markets or industries.
And it's sort of slowly happening.
But as industry by industry, people are starting to rethink aspects of their business in really interesting ways.
And it'll take a decade, two decades for this transformation to happen.
But it's it's compelling to kind of see how people like the earliest adopting verticals in some sense that the people were thinking deepest about it.
I've I've heard that objective a lot.
I've actually I heard that objective a lot in the two thousand tens.
And there's a bunch of companies that I actually think underhired pretty dramatically or stayed profitable and would brag about being profitable if gross was wasn't as strong as it could be.
So I actually feel like that's a trap.
How would you calibrate this?
Um, it's basically really it's it's almost are you being um laxadaisical or too accepting of the progress that your company's making because it's going just fine.
It could be going much better, but it's still going great on a relative basis.
And so you're like, Oh, I'll keep the team small, I'll be super lean, I won't spend any money.
Look at me how profitable I am.
And sometimes it's amazing, right?
Capital efficiency is great, but sometimes you're actually missing the opportunity or not going as fast as you can and um
Usually I think what happens is in the early stage of a startup life, you're competing with other startups.
