That was always a mistake.
I always famously say Adam Guild from Owner is one of my famous mistakes in that regard.
Just absolute magic when I hit it off with him.
And he's, if you've ever met him, super unique founder who deservedly his company has been marked up to reflect that.
And nowadays I still am happy.
He'll still send me founders even though I passed on him.
He'll still tell founders that I'm a great consumer investor they need to work with.
But yeah, those mistakes are expensive.
You know it, you feel it in the moment.
And this is why also I think part of the reason of being so excited to go to a kind of single trigger decision-making model is that once you've built that intuition in your gut,
You need to be able to act on it.
And there is a period which you don't have it and you probably should be in a place where you have a lot of checks and balances.
So I'd say for the first few years of my venture career, it was very healthy for me.
And then later on, it starts to become less.
So, yeah.
Thank you for having me.
This was really fun.
