Sometimes people say that if you're successful and you're driven by a desire for revenge, it's like a dirty fuel. Like it works, but it's not the best source of fuel that you can possibly have. I'm curious throughout your career and just like everything that you've built, have you found a cleaner source of fuel or you just, you know, what's your takeaway on that? Look, most people don't know this, but before, this is a couple companies before Uber, I did a, uh, a peer-to-peer file sharing system, got sued for a quarter of a trillion dollars by 33 of the largest media companies in the world. And I was pissed. I did a revenge business, which was I'm going to do a peer-to-peer CDN like Akamai, BitTorrent meets Akamai before BitTorrent existed. And my whole thing was turn those guys who sued me into customers. It was like a full spite business, like full spite store, like let's go. Okay. Um, but I think in many ways the, there is a, there is a dirty, there is a dirty revenge or dirty. It's dirty. It can be successful, but it ends up being less than what it should be when it comes from the wrong place. If that makes sense. Uh, part of what drove me earlier was a little bit of like a fear of failure, a fear of failure. And that can mean long nights where you get little done. and it just means you have this edge, this weird vibe that people like, dude, something's wrong with that guy. Right. And it's just a thing. You're just not going to go all the way. Right. When the Uber thing happened and then moved on to new stuff, which was like 8 months after I left Uber, I was doing the new thing. Uh, yeah, I, I kind of fell in love again. you know? And so people said, are you pissed off about Uber? Are you this thing? Like, are you, does that grind you? Or, you know, is it on your mind? And it's just like, when you fall in love again, you don't think about the ex very much. And if you come from that place, you can create in a beautiful, undirty way, if that makes sense. Yeah. It's important.
