I spent more time at that mall the first week than I did working at Freddie Mac. Plus, the company had flex hours. So you had to do seven hours and 45 minutes of work any given day.

I don't know that I modeled, per se, after it, but I definitely had several mentors, actually. And maybe the most impactful was actually in college is a guy who's still alive named Michael Tomczyk, who ran the Innovation Center at Wharton. and I worked for him while I was there. And Michael's sort of big claim to fame is he was one of the original founders of the Commodore 64.

And wrote the book on like personal computer wars, essentially. Really fascinating guy, but he was great. He was an army officer, just really, really interesting and was an important part of my growing up, I'd say in a lot of ways.

Yeah, it's interesting. There's obviously a lot of clout around Wharton, and I'm very happy that I went there, and it's definitely opened doors for me to be there, that I went there. There's no question. But like it's been for a very, very long time, it's been a known thing that like Harvard produces more CEOs and Wharton produces more operations analysts kind of people.
