Gaming Streams Vindicated

A story about how Shaan mocked a college friend for watching gaming streams, only to later sell his company to Twitch.

"I remember making fun of this kid in college because I walked in on him and he was watching somebody else play a video game on a live stream. The guy was playing in Korea and I was like 'You're watching a dude in Korea play this video game? Why don't you just play? Better yet, why don't you get outside and let's go get some food.'

I made fun of him for it and then years later I'm selling my company to Twitch and talking about how great this trend is. He called me and was like 'You mother... dude you made fun of me for this 10 years ago and here you are now, now you're on board.'

That's happened to me so many times in life that now I go the exact opposite way. Anytime I discover a group of people who are living a lifestyle different than mine, instead of writing it off, I lean in with curiosity. It's become some of the best discoveries and life changes I can make, or great investment opportunities because you're actually on the cutting edge of stuff."
