Okay, um, in the beginning one of the highs is just that you're constantly innovating. Like, that 24/7 maker time is very precious to me. My contrast now, my day is like full of meetings. It's like meetings, meetings, meetings, meetings, and then dinners.

So, yesterday I get home at like 11:00 p.m. Today we're starting at 8:00 a.m., and it's like really full. I have to fight for strategic time and maker time, and we still need that to keep all vague right. So, I cherish that part of the early days.

Obviously, the lows are when like nobody cares about you. You barely have any customers. Like, I'm just sleeping at our office or laying on our couch. I remembered in some of the lows I just would put white paper all over and I'd like slay on the floor, and it'd just be like a blank slate and be like, okay, what's next? Come up with it.

And so, those are the lows. The highs now are, it's really gratifying when people start to know you. Every time I meet a customer like in the wild, it makes my day. When I get too far from the customer, I actually notice myself getting unhappy again. I think if you care about the customer and that experience long term, all the money will come.
