So I think...
For us, while I think in this moment of time, you certainly want to have a thousand flowers bloom and people are building agents and experimenting, I think at the same time, making sure that we stay focused on what matters to our community, what matters to advertisers is really, really important.
Yeah, I think it's hard to comprehend how much the job changes over time.
I mean, it's really quite extraordinary to go from, you know, in the early days with Bobby and I, I was, you know, helping design the product, but I was also answering customer support emails.
I was, you know, trying to get our legal filing sorted out.
I was trying to raise money, right?
As, you know, the company grows and things evolve, like so much more of the job is about leadership, right, about making sure you're really developing people, selecting the right people to be on the team, developing the culture, doing that really, really seriously.
And, you know, in some ways, creating a structure that can enforce that, you know, to have a cohesive culture and a vision around the company.
Yeah.
you know, it becomes about strategy, right?
Managing through, you know, enormous change, like what we're seeing with artificial intelligence today, but also, you know, several years ago, managing through the pandemic or managing through rebuilding our advertising platform as the landscape, you know, changed.
So the job has just changed so dramatically.
And I think that's part of what's so energizing about it, what I enjoy so much about it, but it's also something I like never in a million years could have imagined
anticipated when we were first getting started.
You know, one of the big focus areas for me was learning how to communicate more effectively, you know, both to our team, but also, you know, here on a podcast or with the world.
I mean, so much of the job is about becoming a great communicator.
I remember I had the opportunity to meet President Clinton at one point in the early days of the company.
And he was like, you know, it's very interesting, you know, being president is really like being explainer in chief.
And your job is actually to just explain stuff to people and help them make sense of the world and the company and their role in it.
And I always thought that was really interesting.
