You know this.
Yeah.
It's amazing.
I can tell who all my friends are on this GLP-1 because they do look better, but they also just look like oddly skinnier, but in a way that doesn't always look like super healthy.
Yeah, I do.
So these instinct veins are, they're like real kind of usually emotional veins, but they're things in our human experience that are just...
broken or wrong or could be so much better.
And my best example is remembering in early internet days, but even when we were using SMS on phone, that I was like, we ought to be able to order a taxi through our phone.
So I registered smstaxi.com and built a whole business plan, but didn't pursue it because it just wasn't that good a business plan.
So
My instinct was right, obviously, that eventually we would order cars through our phones, but that one idea I put on it was wrong.
And the power of that, the power of getting that your instinct might be an A and your idea might be a B+.
Why is that so important?
It's like, how often have you had friends, friends who are dating somebody and they're just trying and trying and trying or they're in a failing relationship and you're like, he's just not that into you, right?
And you kind of want to have an intervention.
We similarly have friends who are founders and they're just stoically, heroically sticking with something.
It's just not that good.
You know, it's like a B plus and B plus is the enemy of an A. B plus often, if we stick with the B plus, is taking up space.
It's distracting us.
from unlocking the A and to fail or to call the ball that that idea isn't that good, it in itself is really powerful and not many people do it.
