I almost call it being a caveman, where you're smart enough.

You can be really smart, but at the same time, you're like, this seems so simple, it's just straightforward.

I'm not going to overthink it.

I'm just going to do step one, step two, step three.

Whereas a lot of people tend to overthink things.

It's pretty crazy.

I remember looking at some photos of you when you were still in Haiti.

And I was like, isn't it incredible that in such a short amount of time, in one lifetime, you can go from living in an entirely different country to then going to one of the busiest parts in America, New York City, Manhattan, where you live, owning a multi-million dollar e-comp.

It was just like, it's pretty...

I'm so inspired and fascinated about how far someone could come.

I was just reading Barack Obama's book, his biography, and he was telling the story about how, I think it was his father's father, so his Kenyan grandfather, or maybe it was his Kenyan aunt, who came to America for the inauguration, and they were from Kenya, and they were living in the countryside of Kenya, not the most nice setup,

And I was like, isn't this incredible that in two generations you go from just being a person in Kenya to holding this baby and you're like, this baby is going to be the future president of America, not even Kenya, of America.

And I was like, it's just incredible how far that,

journey of two or three generations and then I was like you know that's pretty incredible I've got a bunch of immigrant friends or immigrant family members now you being one of them and the place where they are is so far from where they started and I think that's like very inspiring

You're the most New York person I know.

Like when we walk in the street, I'm like, Swetha, you have to slow down.

you know, on this podcast, we've talked to like, you know, billionaires and people who have these like companies worth tens of billions of dollars.

And Sean and I always say, we're like, we're equally impressed by them as we are a small business that is small, but does great work because what we love are people who kind of

blaze their own path and kind of like turn dreams into reality and it and it doesn't exactly matter how big the reality is it's just really cool to see people kick their debt in the world and I think that like the takeaway when I talked to you and why I wanted you on was because I think that inertia is strong I think that people tend to do the same thing for years and it's hard to break that and the older you get it's not

it's just for the reason of inertia.
