I didn't know anything about Silicon Valley.

I went to boarding school Southern, religious, and straight, and I left boarding school not being at all religious and not being straight.

I am a person who feels compelled and then gets immersed.

Use your own experiences and pain points to identify an opportunity. Be arrogant thinking you can do it better than others.
