Kalshi cofounder says years of ballet training prepared her to lead the company

You trained for years as a competitive classical ballerina in Brazil, and I imagine that came with a pretty strict regime. How does that foundation that you had as a young woman show up in your work now and also in your leadership style? Right. I would say I'm probably in the office like 12 to 14 hours a day. But I think what ballet really taught me was, I think the first thing is discipline. Ballet is very good at teaching you that it doesn't matter if you have great news or terrible news. You need to go up the next day and train the exact same way because it really is compounding, right? it really is you need to train every single day for a year to do a good job for an hour that is very good at setting the pace of how fast we're executing and making sure the company's very laser focused on what we need to do and the other thing is the late gratification which is so much about it is like you can train for a year to be on stage for an hour and you need to be okay with how you know your legs are hurting and you're in you're in pain and all those things you need to be okay with all of that for a long period of time to have like one hour that you're very happy on stage and i think that for us for example why we took four years to be regulated and we're able to wait for that so we have this kind of like it is going to work out it is going to pan out we just need to keep going and eventually like the score will take care of itself we're over 200 people so it's harder to get everyone to see what we think but that's that's i guess the the job
