But I just kind of think that the moment that you decide that you're going to be too embarrassed to try something new, then you're not going to learn anything anymore.

stressful moments big decision days big decision moments how do you deal with that fear how do you deal with that anxiety the thing that stresses me out the most is always is always the people challenges you know i kind of think that um you know strategy questions you know i tend to have enough conviction around the values of what we're trying to do and

what I think matters and what I want our company to stand for, that those don't really keep me up at night that much.

I mean, I kind of, you know, it's not that I get everything right.

Of course I don't, right?

I mean, we make a lot of mistakes, but I at least have a pretty strong sense of where I want us to go on that.

The thing in running a company for almost 20 years now, one of the things that's been pretty clear is when you have

team that's cohesive, you can get almost anything done.

And you can run through super hard challenges.

You can make hard decisions and push really hard to do the best work even and kind of optimize something super well.

But when there's that tension, I mean, that's when things get really tough.

And

You know, when I talk to other friends who run other companies and things like that, I think one of the things that I actually spend a disproportionate amount of time on in running this company is just fostering a pretty tight core group of people who are running the company with me.

And that to me is kind of the thing that...

both makes it fun, right?

Having friends and people you've worked with for a while and new people and new perspectives, but like a pretty tight group who you can go work on some of these crazy things with.

But to me, that's also the most stressful thing is when there's tension, you know, that weighs on me.

I think the, you know, just it's maybe not surprising.

I mean, we're like a very people-focused company and it's the people is the part of it that

that weighs on me the most to make sure that we get right.
