And then we're dividing and conquering.
So he's probably trying to nail three or four most important things at a time.
And he's the CEO.
He's going to call the ball and say, these are the four things I own right now.
And I'm going to be like, great.
I'll be over here then.
And then within those, what am I doing with the rest of my day that is more important than nailing the five things I've said will get done this half?
If it's anything other than maybe hiring...
Right?
There's this idea that like the CPO's job, you get to decide all the roadmaps and all those things, and I've got bad news for you.
That's like not strictly true.
But I think it also comes down to like spending some time with that person to work out like, how do we jam on a topic?
How do they like to get push?
How do they not?
And then you spend a lot of your time calibrating.
So like before I joined Whatnot, I think Grant and I had like five or six different coffees where we talked about like, how do you get, you know, this type of team to move?
How do you work on those things?
And then I obviously went through a series of interviews and actually came down to kind of LA where Grant and Logan were based at the time and spent a whole day with them.
Just like in a room, going through a couple of different problems, talking through different things in the roadmap, just like really getting into it.
And I tried through that to kind of be my most ordinary self as opposed to like interview self, if that makes sense.
