Made other people feel the same way.

Yeah.

I said I want to make people's favorite shit.

Like, and that means...

That's a really good North Star, by the way.

You need a t-shirt and that has to go on a wall somewhere.

I just want to make your favorite shit.

And that can be anything.

And that could be like high art.

It could be, you know, slapstick humor.

But like, there's some, I have just like, I have a range of things that make me so happy.

And I have defined who I am because they just, there was some intention and there was,

something that resonated with me at the time and that that the period that I was in or it means a lot to me and my friends because it's inside jokes and so yeah I look for things that make me either laugh really really hard because they're funny or stupid or things that just make me feel emotionally seen and that's kind of my guiding my guiding light.

Ideally, yeah, that was part of the ideal plan.

But to your question, something did surprise me where it resonated with me last year where I was like, oh, and I have so much respect for like executives and people who give notes.

But it dawned on me that like what I wanted to make was in the hands of one person.

Like, you know, the decision making was in the hands of one person's taste.

And I was like, oh, okay.

And they might be really honest about that taste.

Like, oh, this genre thing might not be for me, but that also means it doesn't get made because it's not for them.
