Imagine taking this unfortunate mishmash of a brain and trying to be a fucking founder with it. Being in combat in Iraq was easier. I’d literally rather get shot at and blown up every fucking day like 2004 than constantly fuck up customer and co-founder interactions because my mind is such a worthless broken tool.
