旧金山拥有独特的创业氛围，以古怪、极客和反传统的特质为特征，这使得它成为年轻技术创业者最佳的起步地点。

40:11>> Basically, we did this episode where we had nine founders come and explain what they were working on. >> Yeah, it's sort of like sit in the hot seat, tell us what you're doing, tell us the numbers, we kind of nerd out about your business. What did you think of that cuz I you know, you're a New Yorker in the hustle and bustle of things, but the

40:28types of businesses people do and the types of people who do business are very different in San Francisco. >> I thought it was was fantastic. More so than the businesses that they were working on, what I like about San Francisco is there seems to me an outsider it felt like there was a significantly higher quirky attribute, a significantly higher nerd attribute, against the grain attribute that I

40:51particularly love and I get a huge amount of inspiration was from. Like we met a guy who was an Indian guy, he made a machine that made basically for us fettuccine alfredo, like an Italian dish, and I was like, how silly and wonderful is this that this like Indian guy who talks about growing up in India is now using like a robot to make us Italian food. And like I thought that

41:14was like a really quirky cool thing and we talked to all types of quirky cool people and that was in abundance. >> Yeah, San Francisco has the most startup ideas that will sound terrible and probably be terrible than anywhere else where you find entrepreneurs.

The the the spread of the ideas is just so different than anything you would see in most other like places where you're going to find business. >> I think if I was 22 years old or 20 years old and a recent college grad and I was remotely interested in technology, I still without a doubt I think it's the

42:14place to be. >> Yeah, agreed. Agreed. >> I just started reading Have you heard of this book called The Art Thief? >> No. >> Very, very popular book. I'm still like very early on into it, but it's a story of a guy It's a true story of an art thief who stole I think it was $3 billion worth of art. And [snorts] what makes this book amazing and what this makes this guy

42:37spectacular to read about, he did not sell one piece of art ever. So, he stole it and he felt he had like a a code. He felt it was the right thing He's like you can't steal art and hurt people and you should just do it in the middle of the day while the museum is open. Like there shouldn't be like a big heist. And so, like he was a genius, I guess you
