If you look at yourself and say, I am to blame for my problems, it's hard.

And as someone who does it more frequently than the average person, it can feel lonely.

Luckily for me, I have an incredibly supportive family.

So those days where I say, hey, I made a mistake, I am to be blamed.

I have my wife and my kids, and that makes a world of difference.

I also pray more than the average person.

So it helps me find...

the ability to look at the mirror and say, you screwed up.

You should do better.

You can do better.

And then just like feel that I'm not holding my past self guilty, but just do better.

And I think that pattern is as repeatable in companies as it is in people.

I have a high degree of sympathy to people who do that.

I really do.

One of the best parts about being a founder, which is why I think founders are such unique characters, basically every founder I know has had to look at a bank account statement and count how many payrolls they are away from not being able to make payroll.

Yeah.

And that usually shakes you pretty good.

Yeah.

Because if you do not think you're dead, like Paul Graham has this essay where he calls it default dead.

And you just have to do something.
