I hear it from my people all the time, and they're still in touch with people that reported to me.

But I didn't realize that when you're trying to do something you've never done before,

Yeah, yeah, it was incredible.

You don't know what you don't know.

And that's also a reminder to people listening because you will make mistakes.

And to make it even worse, the worst part is actually not what you don't know that you don't know.

Yes, I didn't know about the founder's agreement.

It's what you absolutely sure you know, but you know wrong.

I made a lot of mistakes, but the truth is, thank God I didn't have a founder's agreement because I would have been stuck in this minutia thing that actually went down, like it basically exploded a few months later.

And I was absolutely sure that I will know how to start a company.

And I was absolutely wrong, Megan.

And instead, I had to lean into figuring things out.

And that became my purpose.

That became my mission.

That became Leap Academy.

That became everything I do now.

So to some extent, a reminder to everybody, your darkest moment,

Again, it's always darkest before sunrise.

And it's very, very likely that this is your teaching moment to actually reflect and actually put you on a journey that will change the second part of your life.

So the question is not why is this happening to me, but what should I learn from it?
