But I go back to my first company when I was 21. So I had to rope in a friend from school. I roped in my girlfriend. I roped in this kind of spotty, funny teenager dude who I knew who came and slept in my basement for six months. Basically, I just pulled together who I could. Um, later on some guy tried to sell me a mobile phone package and was really like great talker.

And as he was selling, I said, Hey, look, you're really good at this. Do you want to quit your job and come work with me? Um, and so I pulled someone across there, um, called promo mentality. I was in a cafe and someone was wiping down the table with a big smile on their face and super pumped and they're happily wiping tables down. I'm like, what a positive attitude.

You're not going to get someone to quit their job at Google.

Like, are they actually, when I'm talking to them about the idea of joining the team, does that raise their energy or lower their energy?
