Travis, his true vision for Uber was to replace car ownership. And it was at that moment I realized, oh, the TAM is trillions. What do you think makes him so good? Really exceptional intelligence.

You talk about 10x engineers. These are like 1,000x humans. We are actually full steam ahead, but things start to go wrong. Yeah, what went wrong was we had the wrong venture capitalists on the board. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it was Bill Gurley at Benchmark.

When we escaped the revolution and came to America, she started all over again. We came with $35 and then we had to escape. We started with nothing. And my dad drove a taxi while getting his PhD.
