I don't think they're going for pizza at 8.30 in the morning.

What would you want to do?

What would you be excited about doing?

And letting him get excited about something and take his genius and lean heavily on it.

I also think

When I look back on all the times in finance where I felt stuck, where maybe I was even asking myself, why am I even doing this?

I'm not that extraordinary at this.

I learned early in my career, I would try to go somewhere else.

I would try to take that same job somewhere else.

If I was not doing a great job at Goldman Sachs, maybe I could do that same job at Deutsche Bank and they'll appreciate me more.

And I made some decisions in my career there where I was in that moment of stagnation, plateau, or maybe just not being that great.

And I thought that jump could change things for the better.

But over time, I realized that sitting in that period, sitting in that feeling,

Knowing that maybe you're not that good at something or I'm not getting better at something.

Instead of making a decision like rash and going to another place to do the same thing, sit in it and find that feeling.

And whenever you feel that moment of stagnation or frustration, how do you take that negative energy and push it towards something more positive?

Like, how do I grow from here?

And that led me to, for some reason, blurt out to Missy Robbins someday, I want to do this with you.

I want to be a partner.

I would have never in my wildest dreams have a deep belief in somebody like that to say, I want to do something completely different than what I've ever done before.
