And it wasn't that you couldn't get some eyeballs by being clickbaity, but you had to put in that work and have some meat to your statements.

I know that I keep saying this.

This is something I avoid so hard on social media and maybe it's to my detriment.

Probably, but I couldn't sleep at night.

I just couldn't live with myself saying these things.

As you know, the mission of this podcast and really my mission for the past 20 years has been to help startup founders like yourself.

Folks, maybe you're bootstrapping, maybe you raised a small amount of money, maybe you're raising series A's and you're raising a huge amount of money.

And I don't know, a dozen or two dozen.

No, it's got to be close to two dozen have raised venture rounds.

And so I've been exposed to that as well.
