0:00So, you've gone over a lot of your successes And failures. What was that? And failures. Go ahead. Yeah, and and so my question is more about your kind of protecting your mental health and your ability to handle these extreme emotions cuz I've gone through both exits and acquisitions the last 2 years. Yeah. And I've just never been more miserable. That's the only That's the only reason I'm here. Okay. Yeah, it's just either getting resources or connections. I'm just wondering how you handle when you have those major losses and you lost everything and you've been or when you've kind of had those failures face you in the face and also
0:36>> [laughter] >> if you ever viewed the an acquisition as a loss of community. Sure. And how how do you protect yourself? So, I will not spend a long time on this um because it gets into a very heady chunked up version of reality. Which is just like I believe that when I die within 6 months, no one will give a [ __ ] And so the fact that no one will care 6 months after I'm dead for the most significant life event that I have, which is that I am no longer alive, it makes a lot of the other stuff not matter that much.
1:07And so I also know that when I was poor and I had nothing, I was about as happy as I am now. And so if I was just as happy then as I am now, then I could go all the way back there and basically be in the same thing. And I think in some ways when I really play it out, I get just as excited about the idea of having the comeback story. Now, I'm going to try to not do that, but if I did it, I would get into the state that I think that I'd be like, this is going to be my thing. And so like a lot of times the fears we have are catastrophized. And so I like I want to have this like of the many list of books I have this big document of like Alex's list of books that he will someday write. Um but one of them is play it out. And so it's thing that I say a lot on quarterlies and strategic it's like let's play it out. Like what happens next? What happens next? What happens next? And so like what actually happens next is not that bad. It's just the idea of it that seems very bad. I mean Leila has this quote that's the fear is a mile wide and inch deep. It's like you take a step onto it and you're like, oh this isn't that big of a deal. Like the worst case is I have moved back with my Well, actually, you know, I kind of like my parents. And you know what? Home cooked meal's not so bad. You know what? I'm only going to see them for 10 more years before they're just old as [ __ ] anyways.
2:17So, you know, it could be a blessing in disguise. And like there's a lot of research that's been done on like people who become paralyzed. And within like 3 to 6 months, they return to the exact same baseline of subjective well-being as they were when they had all their limbs. And so as much as that's a terrible thing that could occur, losing money is probably a lot less bad than losing limbs. And if it happened to them and they're just about as happy now as they were 6 months earlier, I just genuinely like Leila and I are sitting on opposite poles. Like I struggle to care. She cares so much. And that's how we yin and yang in business is that she'll get stressed and I'll be like, we can die. No one will care.
2:56>> [laughter] >> And like when you zoom out, you're like, oh there's the world. And like I'm a monkey on a little thing. Again, this is a worldview thing. Some people don't agree with this and I had I've had people get really upset about it. So, that's how I deal with it. And so for me, I just don't have really big stakes because I just don't think anyone cares. That's all. Like the idea that everyone is watching it just isn't.
