This video is the start of a journey

Watch it from 19.29 where Paul Graham and Sam Altman are talking to Ryan Petersen, the founder of Flexport. I enjoy watching their back and forward and just their quickfire questioning. It is also interesting as this guy clearly knows a lot about the industry.

Some insights into the current valuation even if the valuation is 80% less than it was its still a billion dollar business within 10 years.

My last company had a lot of sales guys and it wasn't that fun to manage them.

I love the intensity at which Sam Altman is listening throughout this interview.
