Likewise.

I've been through a number of startups and there are jobs that I really really dislike down to my core.

My 2nd startup I did the CEO role and i hated every day of it -- I really respect those who can spend day after day in investor meetings, sales calls, marketing catch-ups; that person isn't me.

My 3rd startup I decided to stick to technology - with a heavy dose of management - and partner with someone who could do the above.

Startups are already barely tolerable as it is, you can at least help yourself a little by being able to focus on the areas that bring a little joy into your life.
