The first is his ability to kind of see something that should be obvious to other people, but just use it in a very, very, very different way. And I think there's something about just being present in the world. It's the Rick Rubin thing again. Yeah. Seeing something other people don't notice. Yeah.

I think there's just this dynamic where we're all living our lives, but if you actually pay attention, the most beautiful things can be right in front of you.

I think that is something that's really powerful with Terrell. I also think Terrell is also among the artists that I enjoy the most because whether it be Terrell or Donald Judd or Sol LeWitt, they're visual in terms of the ways in which they created the art, but they don't actually create it themselves.

It's more of a scientific problem or a mathematical problem that they're trying to solve and ultimately someone constructs it for them. I don't know. I love music, but I don't know how to play an instrument. I love art. I've tried to learn how to paint. I'm not particularly good. I love technology, but I'm a terrible coder.

So maybe my love for Terrell is more coming from the fact that someone who's visual, but has others crave for him, just be an inspiration for me.

I think it's the most important aspect of what enables companies to realize their full potential. I think the ability to inspire and motivate is just as important as the ability to operate and hire and build. Every company is centered around a mission, and that mission has to have a vision in order to determine the North Star.

And those that dream have the capacity to motivate their people to ultimately have something that has yet to exist in the world be created.

First and foremost, I remember every single person that has ever passed on Thrive. And I remember every single person that's ever passed an Oscar and how they did it. So before we get to what it's like to actually have a negotiation with a founder, how you handle the conversation when you ultimately do not invest is just as important as the conversation that you have when you do invest.

Rejection is hard. I've experienced it so many times in my life. And you want that rejection to be an experience that you can learn from. So the best passes that I've ever received with Thrive have been when people said, Josh, we really think that there's a lot of really positive attributes around what the firm is doing. This is our risk section. Let's talk in a couple of years.

And that happened obviously in the early days when most people pass on us. And we took that risk section and we tried our best to learn from it and grow from it. With Oscar, it was the people who sent us their work and took us through the things that they thought that we needed to do to get better.
