Maybe I'm not the right person to do it.

Around the same time, I had someone that we had hired that was reporting to me who was running our payments team, Kaz.

In almost every interaction I had, it did sort of feel like, man, Cass really likes operations.

Like he just, it feels like his ground state.

He's kind of always doing it.

And so I saw glimmers of like what people that are truly operationally minded look like.

But a couple hurdles I had.

One is that I don't think I was ready to admit that this was not for me.

This wasn't my thing.

I don't like to admit that I'm not good at something.

I prefer to get better at it.

I also, I think I was afraid to say the thing I want to do is like storytelling.

It felt like maybe that's not enough.

Yeah.

And it came with a smaller team.

It just came with less areas of responsibility.

Even though each of those were shallow, I was like, what I really want to do is this other thing.

It's like one area of responsibility, but it's really, really deep.

Is that enough for me?

it became obvious to me that that wasn't the right, the right, the right thing.
