Q So you talk about going through hell. What exactly was your hell?
A Well, when I built this tech company, I built it to solve a problem that I faced as an advisor. Um, and I knew the application was far beyond me. And when I started building this, I built this with my uncle. He was my computer programmer. And, you know, the first couple of years were very difficult, very tough. Ask, you know, try to make a lot of sales, get told no a lot of times. Uh, and then a couple years in, things started going well, and we really turned a corner. Things, things weren't just gonna go well. They were really gonna take off. And right when that happened, you know, I had a dispute with my uncle. Uh, there was an investor that, you know, started making demands that didn't make sense, and then poof, out of the blue, a competitor sues us for patent infringement. And so right when everything I felt like was gonna start going the way we wanted it to go, here I am, I wake up one morning in the beginning of 2020 with three lawsuits on my plate, and I gotta deal with all of them on my own. Continue to run the company.

Q I've heard of companies firing their CEO and creating an AI CEO. Do you think that would solve the problem, just having AI manage the people and, and lead the people, or do you think that's a really bad idea?
A That would scare me. I mean, the, the biggest challenge is the linear, the way, the way people think these days, a lot of times is very linear, very linear, and it's very sort of internal. And so I think the bigger the team, the bigger the culture, and sometimes even the bigger the challenge is trying to get people to realistically understand what's going on and what needs to be done. Sometimes that's not a straight line conversation. That, that conversation is a, is a winding road, and I'm just not sure AI can take that path. I'm just not sure it's there yet. And I think a lot of leaders struggle with that, right? Being able to understand how to ask the right questions, to really find out what's going on, to really uncover why somebody is struggling or why they're, you know, not getting along with the team or whatever it might be. I, I just, I don't know. I don't know that AI can solve that when it comes to people leadership.
