If you can go back in time, is there another piece of advice that you would give young Aaron? I would say try more audacious things. Try something that is stupider.

And so what I would say is like, what's a big idea that seems really painful? And can you absorb that pain on behalf of all those other people? And I wish I had thought earlier on in my career, what's kind of like a big meaty problem in the space? that I could solve that people are currently experiencing a lot of pain around. And so I would just say dream a little bit bigger.
