close and connected and like i trust you and we we talked about a thing that was felt really good we felt connected i don't think we can expect that all the time and even in conversations where you walk away feeling like oh my gosh that was great If you looked back at the transcript, what you would see is kind of like a train wreck. We interrupt each other all the time.

There's all kinds of moments of misunderstanding. We say things that we probably shouldn't. We forget to say things that we should. But there are these moments where you come together and say, wow, like, oh, that felt really good. And likely, if you're feeling that way, it's likely that the other person is as well. But to your point, Mike, you never know.

Yeah, yeah, because it's a stimulant, right? Yeah. We cut through so many cases of Diet Coke at HBS, at Harvard, because so many of the faculty are ADHD and they're self-medicating. medicating in tiny doses. That makes sense.
