The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
20VC: Monzo: The Greatest Turnaround in Tech: From £40M Revenues, Layoffs, Downrounds and Low Employee NPS to $1BN in Revenue, Profitable and 10M Customers with TS Anil, CEO @ Monzo

And, you know, it's going to be fun when you look back at it and recount it to yourself and you remember that you lived through it and all of all of the crazy that happened. So, yeah, every day was some combination of type 1 fun and type 2 fun. Every single day, I'd keep score of how many face punches did we get today? How many body blows did we get today?

Because when you're in an existential time for a company, there's all of that happening all the time. How do you deal with the body blows or the face blows? But like, just... Quite literally the way I said, like this idea of type one fun, type two fun for me would be a joke about it. I'd say, oh, that's definitely going in the book. That's going to make a great story, right?
