I had a 20 yr Silicon Valley corp career so I'm right-brain logical/reason trained. In that time, I also saw a lot of things happen that seemed impossible or hopeless and then at the last minute something happened like the universe was conspiring behind the scenes for us.

When you work in tech startups where nothing is for sure and things can change in an instant, often you have to have blind faith that things will work out one way or another. You learn to rely on your gut more. My gut feeling is that this race is far from over. Plot twist coming.
