I don't know that I did very much differently because I think my parents did not understand me at all and yet were incredibly open to me walking my path. My mother was a first-generation immigrant. She just wanted me to be a doctor or a lawyer or whatever, except unlike a lot of first-generation immigrant families, she never told me that, and I never even felt it.

She could tell that I was going to walk a weird path. She didn't even know what entrepreneurship was. She didn't know any of that stuff. And she just wanted me to find my place.

I like the role of consigliere in the world. We can talk like crazy with a founder or my two sons about what they're going through. And then with earnest and like deep heartfelt coming from a real place, be like, it's your decision at the end. It's okay. And I don't know what the truth is. So I'm not telling you what's right or wrong.

And I was like, I want to leave. And I'm not even sure if I'm going to go to university. I might just start another company. I don't know. I just, I can't do this.

If I had any superpower joining venture, it was that I had no long-term desire to be in venture. I was very happy to be in venture if it worked out, and I'm still very happy to go start a company.
