Anyway, so that was my story.
Yes, Mick, but I'm going to be honest.
I think when you ticked some of these boxes of success in corporates, as a VP, running some big things, I kind of have bigger ego than I should.
And I think that confuses you.
Again, I do believe I was a great leader.
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,
You don't know what you don't know.
And to make it even worse, the worst part is actually not what you don't know that you don't know.
It's what you absolutely sure you know, but you know wrong.
And I was absolutely sure that I will know how to start a company.
And I was absolutely wrong, Megan.
Yeah, yeah, it was incredible.
And that's also a reminder to people listening because you will make mistakes.
Yes, I didn't know about the founder's agreement.
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 instead, I had to lean into figuring things out.
And that became my purpose.
That became my mission.
That became Leap Academy.
