What advice would you give a founder? Just do it. I think that's like the fastest way to learn is to is to actually just get out and do it. And I would have actually say like [music] be more ambitious than you think you should.

You know, if [music] you're setting out to like use your precious time in your life building something, build something big and choose [music] something big. Choose something meaningful. The other thing is like it's going to take up so much time and so much of your life energy to build like do something you care about. Like do something [music] that you will feel very excited to work up wake up each day and do. I love that. What advice would you

give someone early 20s? I definitely think anytime that you spend doubting or or hesitating on what you want to do is a waste of time. Ooh, I like that. >> So, yeah, just just pursue your curiosity and like just don't be shy about going after what you want. I will also say for myself like I am not the smartest person in the room in any room that I went to. No, it's true.
