From the episode: Interview with Justin Kan, co-founder of Twitch and a former partner at Y Combinator.

Answer

Once you start a company it is easy to get attached to that company, having an idea of what exactly is going to happen to it. You might think you'd change the world, or to solve a problem that you care a lot about..etc. Entrepreneurs generally have a higher degree of confidence and optimism and their ego is tied to those outcomes. It is important to disjoint these outcomes with happiness.
