So I always start with asking my guests, what is something career-wise that you know now that you wish you would've known earlier in your career?

I would say two things.

First is not to wait until you feel ready.

I think there is no such thing.

You never ever feel ready to do anything, so you just have to really, yeah, throw yourself in the deep end, which leads me to my second point, and it's make yourself uncomfortable.

I think a really big part of growing as a human, and particularly building a business as a founder, is always finding a way to step outside of your comfort zone, which I know can sound very cliche, but it's true in just your everyday acts.

Like, sometimes I put off sending an email because I'm worried about the response that I would get or things like that, but you just have to constantly put yourself out there, and that's what I wish I had learnt earlier because I would've gotten a lot further back in the day.

I know what you mean.

And I think also, like, the being uncomfortable, that's also how you grow.

So the you wait until you're ready, that's never gonna happen, so you just get out there, be uncomfortable, and then you kind of grow the confidence from that.

And I also think especially...

Well, I mean, you're a small business owner now, but world domination is happening, I think, very soon.

I wanna hear all about it.

But whilst, like, working also at other startups, I noticed that everyone is just sort of figuring it out.

Everyone is just doing things.

Like, making it sound fancy, but we're all just fucking around finding out.

100%.

Yeah.

No one knows what the fuck is going on.

[laughs] Like, you can only learn once you start doing it.

The longer you wait, the longer you kind of just kick the can forward.

So really, really cool that you're building this.
