And capabilities, to your point about ambiguity in the opening, because we don't know about the capabilities of these technologies or how the world's shaping up, there's a lot of ambiguity.
So to me, the companies that do really well and the way we guide the founders, a lot of it is become iterative.
Constantly change, constantly move forward as opposed to what used to be before was become precise.
Find this narrow edge opportunity.
Create your growth loop and go build a company.
Now it's like constantly iterate.
And in order to have the customers give you the license to iterate, it comes down to trust and relationships.
So founders that are very good at engaging with customers, building trusting relationships and say, hey, we're going to go figure this out together.
We know how to leverage this technology, but we don't really know where it leads and what the possibilities are.
Well, we co-create.
And so the advice I always give is it's all about radical collaboration in this next phase.
We got to figure this out together.
We're different stakeholders that all touch a system are figuring out what this means to them and then what it means in terms of an overall optimization and the transformation that we can do with it.
One of the things you said that really resonates is around creativity, because when we were going to college, it was all about learning how to solve problems really well.
And now in a world where we have this technology that can solve problems for us, it really is about asking the right questions.
It's like going back to that Socratic dialogue.
It is about creativity and who can imagine best.
what the world's gonna look like, and then leverage these technologies to go shape the world towards that, to your point about vision.
And teaching our kids, you know, I get this question a lot about what do you want, how do you want your kids growing up?
It's like learning how to ask the right questions versus solving hard, you know, work on hard problems.
