Q Was that scary for you? I, I, I learned from two types of entrepreneurs on the show. Either they've totally hedged their bet. They used corporate job and their salary to save up enough cushion where if the new thing failed, it would be no big issue. And then other people totally risk it all. Which bucket were you in?
A Um, probably more the first. I mean, I, like, worked there for a while, had, had saved up, you know, I had a great relationship there, so when I, they started having conversations with me about moving to SVP, and then I quit, actually, the, the next week, and, uh, but I knew that, you know, I mean, it was a, it wasn't, like, a, a risk that, you know, in the sense of, my family's gonna be destitute, you know, if things didn't work out with CB Insights, I'd go back to, uh, they said, hey, well, We'll take you back. I think at this point it's been so long that I'm sort of unemployable at a big company, but, um, but back then, you know, I'm sure if I could have, although, uh, that would have been a huge ego hit if, if I had to, if I had to go crawl back to, to the big company.
