200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

I've had a really good experience with psilocybin.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

Like, you know, my own experimentation, we'll call it, or supplementation, maybe.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

So it doesn't sound like I'm using it just to get high.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

And I was like, there really is something to this, right?

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley

200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

This was probably like 10 years ago, like right at the very beginning of this move, but it's intoxicating.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

But like you said, there's 10X the losers, right?

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

So, you know, one of the things that I've always been really interested in philosophically, you hear this a lot with VCs, I think with venture firms and stuff, it's maybe a little less, but it's, we're gonna place 20 bets

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
200 Rejections to a Billion-Dollar Exit: Larry Cheng on Resilience and Growth
