It was the worst culture shock of my life.
I had been around the world, but I had not experienced sort of that insular culture of how tech companies are built.
And I'm always impressed with how many people picked up that call.
Yeah.
So I quit my job.
No.
No.
And it's interesting because I know Dino has been on your show and he talked about what it was like as a veteran going to business school, right?
Like you go to business school and you think, oh, I got two years to figure it out.
So you get to business school and like recruiting starts immediately for jobs.
I had no idea.
You know, I was like, what do you mean?
I have no idea what I'm going to do.
I'm a former reporter.
So there was sort of this like kind of, you know, you feel like you're on sort of really shaky ground.
But, you know, my personality is I do very well in those situations.
Like I do very well when I have no idea what I'm gonna do and I have to make a next move.
So crazy story of how I ended up in venture capital is it was 2014 in the fall and I always show up, no one in business school reads books and they have a library at the business school that has only business books but they don't have real books and I'm a reader.
And I walked into the library one day and there's this new book called Zero to One.
It's on the shelf and it's by this guy named Peter Thiel.
