What do you wish you knew about corporate politics when you started that you know now?

Yeah.

How can you tell if someone is going to be your advocate or is actually going to be your adversary in the workplace?

Can you think about a story about how bad it can get?

Yeah.

Well, it's good to know.

I mean, it's one thing what we think should happen, and then there's reality.

And so if you always live in what should happen, what sounds nice, what's Pollyanna, what's rose-colored glasses, you're not going to get far in life.

Forget corporations versus startups versus being independent.

And so I think this is so important to talk about because people think that everybody acts like them.

People think that everybody acts quote-unquote good or everybody's going to do the quote-unquote right thing.

And that's just not human nature.

What do you think is the difference between a good boss and a bad boss?

Let's say somebody's just starting a company and they're trying to kind of get the lay of the land for the players.

How do you know if you work for a good boss or a bad boss?

That's really, really smart, actually.

A lot of this reminds me, you have a philosophy called the magic loop.

And I would be curious if you would explain that to us.

Interesting.

And so does that go back to the law of reciprocity, basically?
