Like when you see everybody else doing it, you're just like, okay, of course I'm going to do it.

And momentum breeds momentum.

Like we were signing deals on New Year's Eve.

We had a big Christmas dinner whilst we were having glögg, or what's it called?

Mule wine?

You have that in Sweden.

We were having the wine before the dinner, and we had the big sales dashboard at the wine thing.

And everybody kept looking at it because everybody wants momentum.

Everybody wants to win.

And when you join a company and you feel like a winner, I think you get burned out doing work where you don't feel like you're winning.

Oh, yes.

I think I'm very good at it, actually.

And competition can be played at a macro level where you think us versus them.

But you can also do it at a lower level, which is our marketing team wants to be that marketing team.

or our engineers want to build a faster document upload time than that other team.

So you compete on all these micro levels and you celebrate them like crazy.

What I've learned this year, I actually used to be quite bad at celebrating.

I remember when I was in business school, my dream job was to go to McKinsey because I thought that's where all the amazing people went.

I found out maybe that that was not the case.

But when I got the call and I got the job, I was in the grocery store and I celebrated by buying a bag of peanuts.
