That's like the easiest question. It's people. Leaving my last business density was... really challenging for me. And it's through that experience in looking back at what we had built. The product was really cool. The market was interesting. There's a ton of potential. We'd built a lot of value.

But man, I was so proud of everyone who walked through that door and made friendships through that, learned so much from other people, changed how I behaved and thought about the world through those people. So without a doubt, if I'm on a balcony looking down at bread, the pride will be in the people that I got to work with every day and also hoping that they found value and shared that sentiment.

If we're able to create that kind of environment, to me, that is genuinely the ultimate success. It's how I live my life every day. The main reason why I'm working on bread is to work on it with the people that I'm working on it with.

We basically almost bankrupt our business. This was back in 2013. So out of college, we started a services business with our profits. We would invest in building new product and tried to bring that product, bring those products to market to essentially make more money. We built a book of business that was a bit flimsy and probably overspent on R&D and research into these net new products.

And for whatever reason, we had an account that basically was paying the bills for us, but we didn't like working on it and we didn't fight to keep it. The project was ending and we just let it end thinking that the next project would just be around the corner. And it wasn't.

As a result, we didn't have enough money to pay our people, which was probably the most foundational learning experience for me as a business owner or as really a professional, that work is less about work. It's more just this requirement for us in our society, for better or for worse, to function and to feed ourselves and to feed the people that we care about.
