If you have an opportunity to get exposure to that early in your career, I would encourage anyone to go get that exposure at the heartbeat of innovation and tech in the Bay Area. That to me, the last 10 years has just been so fascinating for me at a more personal level. It's just where the innovation happens. Just incredible.

That is not to say that there's no incredible innovation happening in other parts of the world. In my last role and company for UiPath, which is Romanian-founded by Daniel Dines, I was so impressed to see the innovation that had come out of Romania and and Daniel and the team. So you see that.

You also see amazing startups, of course, coming from Europe, from Israel, from the East Coast, from Asia. So I'm not belittling that, but there is still something magical happening in Silicon Valley in the Bay Area. And if I could talk to my younger self, I would probably say, go and get exposure to that. The earlier, the better.

I would say to the person, just continue to have your optimism and your belief in what you're doing and just apply tenacity full speed ahead. Don't give up. If you believe in it, full speed ahead. And of course, as you go along and as you get feedback, you tweak, you learn, you build a better widget, whatever it is you build. But just don't give up on that enthusiasm, that energy, that optimism.

That is what's going to enable you to power through. That is what I've seen from the amazing founder CEOs that I've had the opportunity to work for, to work with, and to get to know over the years. That is the one common thread across it. Their belief in what they're doing, their enthusiasm, their energy, and their tenacity. That's what I would emphasize.
