I enjoy the work I do now more than anything I've done before, and I find it easier than my previous roles at YC and Google.

Leaving Google wasn't about starting a company; it was about personal growth and experiencing new things, which eventually led me to work with early-stage teams.

When I joined Google in 1999, it was a small startup with an electric atmosphere, and I was excited to work on big projects.

Working at Google was a great experience, but I never wanted to be an employee forever; I always felt the pull to be a founder.

When I left Google, I needed time to explore what others were doing and to figure out what I wanted to pursue next. I made a VR project for The Weather Channel that became my favorite because it was immediately apparent and hilarious, showcasing how comedy can be created in VR without relying on traditional slapstick humor.

After my treatment, I realized that my job at Google had evolved away from building products for users, and I wanted to work with people who were innovating the future.

I ended up at Google because they had a product I used and loved, and I was really into Linux, which was a key factor in my decision to join the company.

After leaving Google, I wanted to create a company that replicated the early, exciting environment of Google, focusing on building a great workplace.

I eventually moved to California to work at Google, where I was in online sales and operations, while continuing to explore side projects.
