Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.

So we had to let a lot of people go, and we just said, "Hey, we have to get profitable, cash flow positive within a year.

Otherwise, we're going out of business." I think the most difficult thing for me as an entrepreneur is letting people go.

The first year of funding, we scaled to 70 people, then we had to cut down to 20, but it always feels really painful, and it's probably made me more prudent as an entrepreneur, you know, since I've had to do that.

Well, one, ideally give yourself some buffer.

You know, raise more capital so you can persevere longer without having to, to lay people off.

And, and secondly, make sure you get productivity quickly so that everyone you hire ideally is producing, ultimately producing revenue.
