I could ask you the same thing, but I honestly think it's first of all, you have to propensity to take risks. You have to be able to operate in gray areas.

I think you have to recognize what talent is in other people because no one does it by themselves. You have to have the ability to raise capital if you're in the venture capital world.

Even if you learn, I never want to be that person who you just talked to. You have to have a lot of energy. Yes. You also have to decide that's what you want to do. And what I mean by that is there is no work life balance when you're an entrepreneur. If you're doing it, you're doing it. You have to be in. You have to be committed. And you have to see it through.

And what I find fascinating, because I'm just talking to entrepreneurs all the time, if they bring up, I want to work-life balance, I'm just like, why would I give you my money to make your life better?
