Chemi Peres, I am so excited about this conversation today. He is the co-founder and managing partner of Pitango Venture Capital, which is really Israel's largest venture capital fund with over $3 billion in assets under management. I mean, it's invested in over 250 startups. Chemi is also the son of Shimon Peres, the former prime minister of Israel.

And Chemi continues his father's legacy in the most beautiful way as a chairman of the Paris Center of Peace and Innovation, where he really uses technology to foster peace and collaboration. Super inspiring. Chemi, I'm looking forward to this conversation. Thank you for coming.

So I have to take you back in time because I kept thinking, what is it like to grow up with someone like Shimon Peres? For all of us that know him, everybody in Israel knows him. Most of the people in the world know him. He was a huge inspiration to so many people. What is it like?

He was an incredible person. And you're saying you got a lot of the modesty from your mom. And I would say, I think your father is also like, it was so humble. I wish there were more leaders like him today. But take me there. Does it come with a lot of stress, a lot of expectations? Is it coming with any hate in school? What does it come with? What are the things that we might not know?

Oh, my God. I will go back to that because you did have a very special relationship with him and also your kids had a very special relationship with him. But when you were about 18, I guess you went to the military just like every Israeli and you actually went to pilot school. But I think there were some challenges there. What did you face and what did you learn?

Because I believe that the military is one of the best schools possible. It taught me a lot, but I'm curious about you, Chemi.

And that's the pilot course, just to make sure everybody follows.

Which, by the way, I think helicopter flying is probably the most complicated flying ever because there's just so much to do. So you put that goal, you convince people around you, you build that resilience. How do you summarize like all the things that you learned in those 10 years? It's priceless. I'm sure it built you, Hemi.

That's incredible, Jamin. I actually want to talk about this a little bit because I think debrief is so normal for somebody in Israel in the military. But I think it's pretty rare in life, especially here outside of Israel in the U.S., etc. And for those listening, debrief is basically when you really have to look and be really honest about what worked and what didn't work.

And you do this all the time. And that honesty with yourself and that complete ownership that you're taking on just lets you learn so much faster. And I think this is something that I don't know if it really caught up in every single place, but I believe it's priceless. How do you see debriefing today, Chemi?
