I mean, that's what I was doing. You can do that a hundred times a week and it's no skin off your nose.

Yeah. Is that Bob Berg?

Yeah. Is that Bob Berg?

Yeah. Is that Bob Berg?

Yeah. It's so good.

Yeah. It's so good.

Yeah. It's so good.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So it's funny. The reason I said give without the attachment to getting something in return is because I used to say give without the expectation of getting something in return. And I was having dinner with Bob Berg and he goes, well, the attachment is better because – and he had this whole reason. So I just switched to saying attachment because you can expect something in return.

But if you're not attached and you don't get anything, it's fine. But if you are attached to getting something in return, now you're keeping score. And I don't know how philosophical you want to get on this, but if I drive you to the airport and then I drive you to the airport again, I'm a good friend.

But if I drive you to the airport a bunch of times and then I ask you to drive me and you go, hey, dude, I can't. I've got a podcast and I can't help you with this one. If I'm attached to getting something in return, I'm like, Ali's such a selfish prick, man. I've driven that guy to the airport three times. I ask him once and he's got a podcast. Suddenly he can't do it. He doesn't feel good.

So now I've poisoned the well. I'm mad at you. You have no idea why, because it's unreasonable. There's a covert contract, right? In my mind, I decided you owed me that. That's not really a good way to go through life. But you can expect that at some point you'll drive me to the airport or maybe you'd pick up dinner once or something like that. And hey, we're good.
