at google x we had this kind of phrase which is like if you can make something 10 times cheaper 10 times faster 10 times easier it's actually sometimes easier to build something that is so outrageously like ambitious than to build something that's 10 better why sean welcome to the pod thank you for having me i'm excited to be on a fellow experimenter i'm excited to have you
Yeah, this is one of my favorite podcasts.
And the reason is because you tell founder stories.
And I love hearing the stories of other founders.
I think it's important.
Yeah.
So I was a founder three times in my 20s.
I was straight out of university.
It was just after the dot-com boom.

So my friends had kind of pictures of footballers and girls on their walls.
