Our restaurant in Boulder, the kitchen, is 20 years old. We're very well known, very well respected, and we do have to live up to the name.

Yeah. So 2010, I was 37. I had opened the restaurant in 2004, and I had loved the restaurant world, loved it. But I didn't really want to grow a restaurant company. That wasn't my goal. And so I went back into technology, and I had gone from something that I love to something that I like. For me, it was like chewing sawdust every day.

I just couldn't believe that I had gone from, that had changed my life, I had gone back into technology. And now I do do work in technology and I do love it, but I found a better relationship with it. But I was really, really unhappy. From the outside, I was a sort of CEO of a startup, but from the inside, I was just very unhappy.
