Two Truths One Lie: The Truth Comes Out 🎹🪄

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:

I got into Y Combinator on my first try
I've played piano for more than 5 years
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. 😪

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. 🎓

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!

Reveal your truths below or in the thread!

Happy New Year's Eve Everyone! 🥂
