Do you ever get shiny object syndrome and want to start a different business model? Yeah, all the time. It's probably because I'm ADHD as fuck and I'm a founder and that's the reality.

Or if I ran an agency like, you know, xyz, or if I did this different category in a different country, like my cat would be lower the shit.
