Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

I came in right after that.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

And maybe I'll connect the two.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

Yes, please.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley

Ryan Cohen was the founder and CEO of Chewy, co-founder and CEO of Chewy.

And he became the active investor behind GameStop and is now the CEO of GameStop.

200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

And so that's my connection to GameStop.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

And I joined the board to help out shortly after all of that.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

Yeah, I appreciate the connection between the two because I live in the private company world and I'm on a couple public company boards, GameStop and Grove.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

And I think I bring that private company mentality into it, which is I don't worry about the day-to-day movements of the stock price.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley

and make those decisions that set the business on a great foundation to grow profitably in the long run.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

And that's what we do.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley

So if there's volatility between here and there, it's not even occupying my mind, to be honest.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

It's really about just making the right decisions for the business over the long run.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

Yeah, crypto is funny.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

When crypto is riding up, everyone is like, it is the game-changing currency of the world.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

And when it's going down, it's like, there's no intrinsic value.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

It's a joke.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

It's a Ponzi scheme.
