Yeah.
I think my trust issues, I mean, I think part stuff is it's hard to tell whether it's like nature or nurture, right?
But I think that I definitely had some problems with authority when I was younger.
And I had not the normal Silicon Valley kind of background and upbringing.
And because of that, I think that I really went out on my own at a pretty young age and was pretty independent.
One thing that you have to learn when you're leading a company is you are a leader and you are a partner to the rest of your team.
It is not just you.
I am not Harvey.
Harvey is not me.
It is a group of people that are building this company.
And I think that sometimes what founders can end up doing is they can start basically saying like, I want to be the number one.
I think of this as like a sports team.
There are people I know that they don't care about winning the championship.
They want to be the person who scored the most points.
And they're okay with losing the championship as long as they're the one that scores the most points.
Those are the exact type of people that I do not want to work with.
I want to work with people that do care about how many points they've scored, but they care about that because they helped win the game, right?
And I think that's a huge problem in tech is where you have too many people that it's me, me, me, me, me, and not company, company, company.
There's a lot of that.
Yeah.
