• Values the human element of company building over pure skill, explicitly stating that trust is more important than competence when working with others. He also acknowledges the extreme emotional highs and lows founders face, from cofounder friction and the exhaustion of remote work across time zones to the mix of stress and excitement that comes with launching something new.
• Connects life lessons to entertainment and media, finding deep wisdom in animated series like Avatar The Last Airbender regarding hope and persistence during dark times. He also engages enthusiastically with Marvel content, appreciating specific acting performances and cultural commentary within shows like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
