The speaker recounts leaving a previous team where they were uncomfortable with their work approach, describing a low point in confidence that motivated them to take a decisive risk. They decided to fully commit to a new path—willing to "go for broke" and accept possible failure—because not trying would cause deep regret. The passage emphasizes building confidence, embracing risk, and committing fully to one’s vision.
I actually went from a place where I wasn't killing myself at the previous team. I was still working hard, but then I was really uncomfortable and I just came to the conclusion that, you know, look, if, if I'm, if I'm still doing it this way 10 years down the road and I didn't take a chance to do it right, I would so deeply regret it and I would kick myself and you know, and you helped to push me over that ledge and build the confidence. I would say my confidence at that time was at a relatively all time low for a number of reasons and I just had to push through that and just know that I could do it. And I was also. Here's the other thing I think that was very different for me was I was willing to fail because my attitude was like, you know what? I'm not going to keep doing it this way. And, and if, if, if it means that I, I was going for broke, I guess is what I would say. This is either going to work or it's not. And if it doesn't, I'm okay, I'm, I'm okay with either outcome. Wasn't really okay with the failing outcome. But you know, I, I, I became okay and comfortable with the concept of like I'm, I'm going for broken.
