Two Truths One Lie: The Truth Comes Out πΉπͺ
The results are in. Time to reveal your truths everyone!!! Yesterday we played Two Truths and One Lie and I said the winner gets 3 months of premium free. All of your stories we're INSANE and I had way too much fun watching everyone guess. Alright, my turn to come clean, I said: 1. I got into Y Combinator on my first try 2. I've played piano for more than 5 years 3. I ran into Jared Leto twice at two different coffee shops on two different days in LA The lie was... number ONE. I got into Y-Combinator on my second try. But I was surprised at how many of you chose number 2. I've played piano since I was about 16. I've attached a video of me playing piano below. I'm self-taught though so I'm rarely flawless at it. Here's the story behind the lie: We did not get into Y Combinator the first time. We got the interview, which they say is harder to get into than Harvard with less than a 1% acceptance rate. But during that interview, we got drilled. It felt like we got chewed up and spat out. I remember my co-founder and I crying on the drive home. πͺ But honestly? That rejection changed everything. It forced us to rethink our entire business. We went back the next year with a completely new vision. Took all of our learnings. And we got accepted. π Sometimes the no is the setup for a bigger yes. Now it's your turn. REVEAL YOUR TRUTHS BELOW OR ON THE ORIGINAL THREAD. I'll tally everything up and announce the winner by the end of the week. I also have to say, this might have been one of my favorite posts ever! Reading through everyone's had me laughing, confused, and genuinely impressed. Some of these stories are WILD. A monkey judging your snacks and throwing the healthy ones at your head? Driving an 18-wheeler with a 53-foot trailer? Dying on December 15, 2025?! (Barbara, I have questions haha) I didn't realize the depth of everyone's past in this group. Everyone has such interesting stories. I'm excited to find out which ones are true!
