I worked at Goldman Sachs for 8 years and then went to Uber and worked there for 7 years.

One of the biggest realisations I had when I got to tech was that people weren’t obsessed with money.

It was more about the contrast. At Goldman, money was all anyone talked about. Money was the product. The clients were just about making money. There was nothing else.

When I would go back to hang out with my finance friends, all they wanted to know was how much money I was making and how much equity I had in Uber.

Was weird. At Uber it simply wasn’t like that. People didn’t actually talk about money. People talked about the product, the business, the customers, the strategy.

Crypto can very much have both. The numbers are great for the dopamine hits. But it’s always important to find the things outside of the money, money, money vortex that give you path and motivation.
