He was pushed into an innovation role, and he was a totally amazing person.

I reported to a person that reported to him, which meant essentially that I reported in a way to Mike.

Like I really love learning things.

And I'm also, I'm the fourth child and I've always been faking it.

Like constantly when I was a kid, if everybody said like, Oh, do you know how to play Monopoly?

I was like, yeah, sure.

And I had no clue of course, but I just didn't want to be like, if by playing with older brothers, of course I just lied and said yes.

And I realized that I loved being kind of the kid who faked being a grownup.

And then I,

One day at Blackbird, I just realized I'm the grownup now.

Like I'm the person in this room who knows, and I'm going to tell the, I'm not faking it.

Like I know what I'm talking about.

And I just felt so bored.

Yeah, not only comfortable, I think it was just like, and somebody said, oh, how long time is it going to take to build this?

And I was like, I think it's going to take this, and this is going to happen, and we're going to clone it this way.

And it felt like, I know, not 100%, but I loved just having to, I loved getting to a meeting.

Like we had this amazing meeting back in the day when we met Samsung, and like the CEO of Samsung was a really amazing person.
