You could be a Somali at a restaurant and you should be using chat chaptiPt every day to make yourself better at whatever is you do.

0:17.0

Can I ask you about the story really quick?

0:20.0

And you have like a list of stuff here that's like all amazing. It's actually a lot of it's very actionable. But the reason I want to ask you about the story is for the listener. Darmash founded HubSpot 30 billion dollar company. You're the CTO. So you're in your, you're an OG for web 1.0, web 2.0. And your first, or one of your first rounds was funded by Sequoia.

0:39.3

Your partner, Brian, is an investor at Sequoia. So you are in the insider. You're an insider,

0:45.1

I believe. You may not acknowledge it. I don't know if you do or do not. You are an insider.
