Now, one thing that that I think gives you an advantage. I mean, some people may look at it as a as a disadvantage, you know, just jumping from one industry to another, I do see it as an advantage because it gives you knowledge transfer. You're able to apply some of those lessons, you know, into a different field. Uh I guess in your case being able to jump from food to uh web to hedge funds uh back into tech more like the VR space. What what have you learned about being able to grab lessons from a different industry and and and and apply it in a way that gives you an edge to whatever new segment that you're looking to tackle. you you rais a really really good point and that's kind of that it's it's I think very uh powerful to be able to basically innovate within different environments and take lessons that work in one place and apply them to the other and that's true for both private
basically startups but also kind of some of the lessons I've learned in public companies and I look at everything I do as an experience you learn a new industry you need to get up to speed very quickly so first of all I'm not afraid to get into a new industry.

And the ability to take things that you learn uh working in one company and then applying them to kind of new opportunities is is is a way of kind of innovation that entrepreneurs should always do that. So kind of people should not restrict themselves to just kind of uh their comfort zone in terms of either technology or industry or kind of what they do but kind of expand their horizons and will get make them kind of a uh
something that kind of you talking about Elon Musk or you can talk go back in time to Lonardo da Vinci and kind of all the different things he did and he applied a lot of those things to kind of the things that he was doing. So kind of he was a better artist because he was a better scientist and back and forth.
