I was thinking about this. I was at a yoga class, and the woman next to me—we started chatting after class, and she was like, "Oh yeah, I'm like going to Nepal next week to climb Everest." And I was like, "You're what?" And I kept thinking about like people who do all of these incredible things live on the same dimension. You know, they exist in the same dimension, even if you're like looking at them through a screen, or you're watching an interview on Bloomberg, or you're watching an interview on Forbes. Like they exist in your same dimension. And I think one of the things that's really cool about the internet is the internet enables you to talk to people who have, you know, climbed the highest mountains or raised billions of dollars. Like, they're literally just an email away. And so I want to provide that perspective.
