Andy and I have known each other for over 20 years, going back to our early days in New York City. This conversation covers his journey from hedge fund investing at Tiger to becoming an operator and CEO—and the lessons learned along the way. We talk about career transitions, decision-making under uncertainty, and what it really means to build something over the long term.
