There's a good story later.
You know, I went to Stanford Business School and Law School.
And there you're right in the middle of Silicon Valley.
And you're bound to learn something about the latest technologies just by who you're around.
Silicon Valley is room after room after room.
As a recommendation, you know, I was usually up until 18, I was the smartest person in the room.
Once I got into Harvard and started attending there, I was the least smart person there.
So therefore I was learning a lot.
And I can say as a suggestion, it's always the best place to be.
Be in a room where you're not the smartest person.
I started my entrepreneurial journey by starting a company.
Two years into my four-year program of law and business, started a company, raised money from SoftBank, one of the biggest venture capital firms in the world, raised a second round from them, grew the company up to 120 people.
I was the only one with leadership experience who had managed people because we were all in our late 20s in grad school.
So I immediately was promoted to be president, ran operations of the company.
It was a fantastic experience.
We effectively built the...
platform for what is now the app store used on Samsung and Apple devices.
Right on.
It was a little early.
It was before the smartphone.
