Vlad Tenev suspects his level-headedness may partly be innate and is unsure how much it comes from his environment.

“I try to, like, uh, create that environment as much as possible, but I think I haven't figured it out. So, uh, I think, I think that's a big part of it, and also probably, as we were talking before, um, it's a good bit of, like, nature versus nurture.”

“Maybe I was just born like that, and I don't know how much of it's the environment either.”
