You were supposed to be the very first one.

I know, we were traveling.

We got rescheduled.

Easter eggs.

I think you should.

Build a house and write a book one time.

Because neither one ends up feeling like it was the right return on the investment of time.

But you have this passion in you and you should be all in and get it out one time.

And this is my one time.

I had...

I'd say that there was just a lot of lessons and a whole playbook built up across five companies and in building Zynga.

I created a course at Stanford Business School and Stanford CS, and I give this advice over and over to founders.

and even people running companies at scale.

I just said, I might as well get in a book.

I think that my reference was Zero to One, Peter Thiel's book.

I thought, it's a big reach goal, but if my book can be referenceable 10 years later like that, then it's of use.

well, like what to actually do.

So, I mean, zero to one is, I just reread it a year ago and it motivated me again.

And I was like, oh yeah, I love the moral arbitrage and the monopoly.

And it's these big ideas that you love and you can repeat, but it's not a how-to guide or a playbook.
