You have to be observant. obsessed and love something. And like, this is not to say that like everyone should only do things they love to be successful because you got to do all the grunt work too. But then once you have a certain level of where you are, you should structure your company and structure your life where you do the parts that you love and you're good at.

And other people could do the parts, you know, that you're not as good at that you don't love.

You can get into the flow. You could just be great if you love it. And so that's how you should structure your life as much as possible is what are the things that you love that you're good at that are worth doing? And that's going to do more of those and do less of the things you don't like. But have someone else do them if they're necessary.

How do you avoid cynicism? It's a very easy trap in the modern world. This is the debate I was having with Peter Thiel earlier about stuff. He tells me I'm too naively optimistic. He's like, you want to be kind of optimistic in general, but you don't want to be overly so. In general, I think it's easier to be pessimistic and cynical. I think it's an easier thing to be.

I think it's like you can just always say why things won't work. And it actually takes... It's a little bit of a challenge to say, okay, this is really broken. The system is really broken. Other people haven't been able to do it. How are we going to make it work despite that?

It's kind of like being like the hero warrior champion to say, even though this is a mess, what are we going to do to make it work? And it's a leadership quality that I think if you bias towards that it can be figured out, I've just found oftentimes things can be. Yeah.
