In this brief monologue, Matthew Kelly reflects on his track record of public mistakes, attributing part of it to his "autistic brain" and claiming he may have made more errors than any other founder. Despite this, he expresses confidence that his experience positions him to launch a new, larger venture with less personal baggage, emphasizing a willingness to start over and build bigger.

I honestly think, and maybe it's just the way my fucking autistic brain works, I don't know if there's any founder that's made more mistakes, at least publicly, than me. But at the same time, I do feel incredibly well placed to just do it again and do it way bigger. I'm obviously still trying to do that in this one, but feels cleaner to me and easier to me to like go again because there's less baggage.
