Vlad Tenev says his family gave him substantial autonomy and responsibilities from a very young age, treating him almost as an equal.

“It was almost like you're a member of this family, and we all kinda have to figure this out. You... I had my part. They had their parts. Um, so it was, you know, obviously their child, but kinda treated with a lot of autonomy, almost as an equal from a very young age.”
