It's really difficult to be a solo founder. There's a lot of mental health stuff with starting a startup that someone might not realize outright. Flo is very different from most founders, imo. He's a silicon valley veteran an

It seems reasonable that if someone is in a two person cessna they probably have some additional flight exposure, right? I wouldn't know anything about most of that stuff... but I could probably figure out some of it in the moment just
