The other thing that I am unlike that is I'm a great deal overthinker. So I'm really worried right now that you won't like me, that I am not going to be funny enough that everyone is looking at me. I basically, whenever I have an issue with somebody, then I would again rather die than bring it up. So I will smile my way through any situation pretty much even if you're giving me or punching me then I'll be nodding and say, this is perfectly fine. And so I'm just going to tell you a little bit about my start-up. Joanne here is we're calling it tonight. So this print worthy slide is my Sassan Media Group history in a nutshell. So this was our, so basically we started Sassan Media Group in 2010 in Hong Kong, where I'm still in. I started with my two best friends at the time. I had recently been made redundant from my job at a design agency after the financial crisis. And we stopped in this business where we basically got it to be fun to organise events for women. And our first Sassi hour as we call it, we had seven people show up. And weirdly our second one we had 40 people. And then the third one we had 100 people and we finally realised that we were on to something. Started a website, started developing content. We were kind of a little bit pretty the whole like vlog and thing. So people didn't really know what to do with us at the time. But we organised some large scale events in Hong Kong. And this is my best friend here at the Redgrass and my other best friend along in the Goldgrass. And starting businesses with your friends is, well, seems like a good idea at the time. So basically I've gone from being a co-founder of Sassan Media Group to a founder, no co in my life at the moment. We basically found that just because you like to go out for a drink together and you have really fun ideas and get excited about them doesn't mean that you have the same work ethic and values necessarily when it comes to work. So we pretty quickly discovered that it was not necessarily a great fit. But this was so nice. We just kind of buckled it up inside and smiled real. Everything. Until we basically all formed this game to do it. And then we were luckily kind of safe by the bell because one of our co-founders relocated to the US until we went from three, which is a super difficult number. If anyone who has kids who play together, one of you plays will know three doesn't work as a number in my experience. There's always someone who's left out. There's always someone who feels hard down by. And so as soon as there were just two of us it kind of started to work a lot better. And so the business started to go quite well but we were still struggling with the problem that people just didn't take that seriously at all. Anything that goes back to something that Elisha was saying maybe about slight sexism in kind of a tech or media sphere. What we were doing kind of fell into tech weirdly but no one wants to treat us like it was tech because it was media, but digital media. So we walked into a lot of meetings where people thought that we were there to work for free as a favour to them. So can you organise an event for 500 people please? And we'll give you like a couple of drinks on the night. So we had to develop a fixed game quite quickly. We got told, we got given a lot of advice by people who thought that they knew what we should do and we kind of just had to toughen up pretty quickly. And so then we made our next buck-up which was we hired one of our best friends to be the editor of our site because she was a super great writer and we thought it would be good and it wasn't. Basically my new maxim is I never hire someone who can't buy it. So if you can't give feedback to somebody then it's going to be awful and because again we were also fucking nice and we just made it until it was a disaster, imploded, lost the friendship and it spills something which today is awkward at social events. And then just as this business was growing super well we started really gaining some great numbers in terms of our email database, our web traffic, we started making money. We made a really dumb deal. We merged with another company which was actually smaller than us. But they said it would be good if we would split the company equally. They said that we should sign the shareholders agreement and we shouldn't get a lawyer involved because they had their lawyer jacket and it was fine. So we said that sounds great. And it turned out that it fucked us for years. We signed a super minority friendly shareholders agreement and my business partner and I actually had the largest shares out of everybody. We ended up meeting unanimous approval for pretty much everything including getting ourselves. So we had to work for two years pretty much for nothing. So that was really... And after all this, so Sassi Lluwgrwp is still going and in Singapore we have a site called Sassi Mama Singapore which if you're a parent you might be familiar with. So it's still going very well but we're still being found by the terms of this jiffy agreement. And so I decided that I really just wanted to be like I think you might have said just alone with a laptop in a room. So I decided to start a design agency. And unfortunately I forgot these all had clients and so that hasn't really worked in terms of being alone. And I really miss actually the kind of social relationship of being with another co-founder and having somebody to ask questions to or someone to complain to because you can't really complain to employees in quite the same way as you can to someone who knows exactly what it's like to be going through the same thing. So I guess if I was going to give a cheesy sum up it would be that if I was never going to do this again and start up a third business and be a complete club of the management I would really want to have someone by my side as a trusted advisory sounding board because I think that doing it by yourself is super tough and to anyone who's done whatever it will like a real startup by themselves which is some kind of which I always think of as I guess a thing so I'm documenting but like a real startup where you have investors and you know super lots of pressure I really don't know how people do that on their own and I think that the best kind of co-founder that you can find is someone who you can actually have a real honest fight with and then know that you're not going to lose the friendship at the end of the day.
