Can you talk about how you just have built such an incredible network? When you start building incredible businesses, you wanna be surrounded by other people building incredible businesses, but everyone wants to be in the room. There's a lot of work that goes to get to the point where you get to be in the room. The only way you get that is by being around a lot of people. When I was 18 years old in college, I started going to events by myself. That gave me a lot of confidence to be able to communicate, to be able to take rejection. I used to walk up to the most famous people world and ask them, can I give you clothes? And it's not always very nice responses. And I think that just has to be a long-term horizon thinking.
