You know, how do you... And I've...

I'm still learning.

I had people... I err on the side of transparency and honesty and being authentic to a fault.

And I burn out people in that process.

And I did at Zynga and I have since because...

You know, people will say the negative critique I'm working on is, oh, working for Mark is like third grade soccer.

And every Monday he comes in excited about a different idea.

And they're not wrong.

But.

Where I can get better at this maybe is if we can build a culture with our team that says, okay, we are ambitious.

We're so ambitious that we're not going to hold on to a B plus.

Even if we could get funding, even if it has some traction, we have a North Star that we are...

not going to stop until we find product market fit against our North Star.

And this isn't it.

And it's going to take courage on our part.

And hey, let's look around the room.

Is everyone ambitious enough to do this?

Or do you want to peel off and go join someone else who's already...

a rocket ship, which that's a fair career choice for you to make.

But I think that's to me the real founder mode is can you have the courage to tell your team and your investors that this isn't it?
