give a piece of advice to that younger self that younger Henrik that you know was maybe like entering the venture world you know let's say before you started non-stop games what would be that piece of advice that you would give to your younger self and why given what you know now >> it's a good question of course easy would be say that go and buy Nvidia stock or Apple stock and don't do anything else >> there you go >> anyways so what advice outside of that I would tell the younger self is that >> yeah it's it's really kind the networks you have which which of course cool plays a role but the networks and always always kind like believe in what you're doing and and try to find an edge that I'm never if you're good at something make it make it become even better at that. So the advice I would have for my younger self, sorry for the long answer, is that find out
what you're good at and then study even more of that and and try to become even better because you're probably good at something that you have a tendency to be good at. The meaning that you're already better than 90% of people or 99% and then if you invest more time in that because you have passion and already a good starting point, you will become better than a million people than in it or and then continue to continue. Suddenly you're really freaking good or best in the world at something and and and people like to work with with someone who's best in the world in something and then you assemble a team with someone who's really freaking good at that, someone who has honed their skills in something else and that's when you get this type of like all-star team and that's also what we look for in founders.
