What would you do to give us a shot at getting some of the value that's going to accrue because of this AI opportunity?

I've got an example I want to give you. I invest in a matcha company. They make matcha, like the green tea. And they've grown very, very quickly. They're called Perfect Ted, hashtag ad. I'm an investor, et cetera. I'm a new investor in a company, I think. And I was wondering, they've grown so quickly. So they've gone from, I don't know, zero to they'll probably do maybe 30 million pounds next year.

And they've done it in a couple, could be measured in months, really. And I wondered, I was like, matcha is this trend that's coming into shore. Everyone's drinking matcha now. Every coffee shop you go to has matcha. Should they be blitzscaling to capture the opportunity globally?

You could argue yes.

In the case of matcha – There is a role of brand being the moat a little bit.

And on that point that I asked earlier about, if you're the Prime Minister of the UK, you'd start enabling some of our companies in the UK to, like, have more capital, give them access to capital. Do you think... One of my fears is that AI is such a big opportunity. It's going to revolutionize everything. And it's basically going to be owned by America and China.

One of my fears is like, fears as someone that lives in the UK, that we're going to, your economy in the US is going to have such a huge upswing in productivity.

Good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what gives me hope.

Okay. What's the most important thing we haven't talked about for entrepreneurs that we should have talked about? I'll give two.

How do you know when to quit? And I'm saying this in a professional context as well as an entrepreneurship context.

Okay. So you've tried something else that's also messed up.
