Almost 70, 90% of founders experience some shape or form of mental health struggles. So part of the issue is people feel if they're struggling with this, they're alone. They're alone. But what I want to highlight is you're not alone. In fact, if you're not struggling with it at all, ever, I think there is a self reflection that I would invite you to consider that maybe there is something wrong here. Right.
