So, yeah, it's a function of just consequences.
I generally evaluate just based on like two criteria, which is like, is this going to be life changing for me?
And am I optimizing for learning?
Because if I'm not optimizing for learning, I'm just not going to do it.
Because I think that the knowledge I gained doing the next thing, even if I like, you know, lost a few million at Snap, for example, like I was going to learn enough being a founder that I can take those skill sets and like, you know, either go get a new job that pays me better and I'll be more successful in my role or build another company.
And then the life changing money thing was also just kind of that where I was like, okay, like this doesn't necessarily change my life.
So it's not worth my time.
Always optimize for learning.
Because that will bring you success.
Exactly.
Yeah, like everyone always complains like, oh, it's such a big risk to like, you know, quit college or it's such a big risk to like quit this job to build a company.
But it's not like you are losing your knowledge and skill sets, right?
If anything, you come out the other side and you have more skill sets.
Like, yeah, you might have given up, let's call it like a $10 million a year job.
But guess what?
You'll probably get a $20 million a year job.
And I also think that people underestimate like how much like people want talent, which obviously we saw with Meta, right?
Paying like nine figures for AI employees.
I think that even if your company fails, if you hire talented people and you yourself are talented, there will be someone that will buy your company.
for more than your investors invested in at a valuation because they know you want to make your investors whole and they know that you want money.
