If you lived in the Bay, uh, you know, I moved to the Bay in 2012, lived in here, I'm actually in San Francisco right now, lived here for a decade, you just got to meet all of these amazingly talented people that were starting companies.
And after I passed my I passed on a deal uh that a friend was starting and it ended up like totally blowing up.
And I was like, okay, this is dumb.
I just have all of this alpha that is like surrounding me in San Francisco.
