    The best thing I did was hire fun people Not the most experienced or cracked, but the intrinsically curious ones who never said no to the most random side quest I put on their Linear board. Like the time I asked my GTM hire to take an investor call when I was double booked.

    Bumped into the founder of Siri yesterday. We pitched Iris as the Siri of the future before realizing. Adam: “nice, my first company was also called Iris which then became Siri :)” Now he’s on the waitlist 🫠 We had an incredible conversation about how they built Siri before
