Transcript context
…most sane people would be, would be like, okay, I mean, you know what you're doing? Like, I'll maybe wait a year. I think, and this is, this is kind of the, and the being a founder, right. It's, it's all about like, if you, like I mentioned earlier, it's like when we talk to people that worked on browser engines, they're like, you can't, you can't build what you're talking about. I think the job of a founder is, is to, is to solicit that advice. And, and what my coach actually said, he was right about certain things. There are certain areas where I was under indexed on, like, I was not, you know, spending nearly enough time on my bike, for example.

And so I was going and doing the Ironman in like six months. Most people spend, you know, the, the folks he trains, usually it's, you know, one to two years on this stuff before you do try and do a full, you know, it's like going and kind of doing in that sort of timeframe. It's, it's, it's very similar to the same sort of skill set of going and building products. You have to really kind of look at the base reality and go make your own assessment on it. Right. So cool.
