My understanding is that pretty much the company, you know, X account is maybe just out there, but really you're the one communicating to the market via your X account.
And that is like the main distribution channel for all communication.
How does that play into building trust with buyer seller shareholders, media, et cetera?
And also what I see, and I see this across some of our businesses that we have, I see open door, but very few companies, there are people who will tweet at you, Morgan, various people on the team and say, this is broken, this sucks, this UI is confusing, whatever.
You guys respond very quickly.
And sometimes same day, there's a fix that is out there.
And I think that that kind of rapid, not just, hey, we hear you, but the rapid action and fix, again, establishes more trust.
And to me is actually one of the signs of the company and the management is operating at a different level than maybe somebody who, you know, what is Twitter, right?
There's people there, they're talking.
this mentality that you have or the approach is very unique.
And before you and I ever met or talked, I asked a couple of you, I said, hey, what's kind of the story with CAS?
And one of the words that came up a couple of times was principled.
And when I hear that, I'm always like, does that really mean principled or is that like some sort of concocted image that somebody has done?
And you told me a story at some point that I think really highlights your approach to life.
Can you talk about the startup that you sold to Square and then you quit the day after the deal closed?
But before you sold it, earlier in the year, in 2016, you had a pretty big offer.
pretty much 100 earn out yeah yeah and we sold the company and i quit the day i had the deal closed um didn't sign my employment offer just left um which for people who don't understand what you're saying you worked on a company for years you had an offer for hundreds of millions of dollars you don't take it you end up selling for whatever the price would have been
The day the deal closes, the next day or whatever, you quit, which means that all of those years of work, you basically willingly walked away from everything and got zero dollars.
Explain more about that process.
Like what's an example where you got two weeks of change?
