    Aside from quitting your job and starting MetaLab, were there any noticeable big jumps or risks you took to help advance your career?

      Hiring people is fucking scary. Especially when they have families to take care of. That is definitely the biggest jump I made, getting comfortable with the fact that if I took a wrong turn I was putting an increasingly large group of people out of a job.

      Otherwise, I'm not a big risk taker. Pretty careful and conservative, profitable from day 1, no crazy credit card stories or anything :-)
