We spent a couple of hours.

It was a great conversation.

We caught up some more.

And a story I told him about losing a deal ended up kind of the very first story in the book, Give and Take.

which was amazing.

Now, the reason he chose it is because I looked like an idiot.

I had done all the right things.

I'd been the good guy.

I had a relationship with this founder.

And then the founder said, look, my heart says I should go with you, but my head says I should go with this other investor.

And so I'm not going to take your money.

And then what happened is I said to him, well, that's the wrong answer.

You know, that can't be the answer.

And you should reconsider it.

We had a long conversation.

He ultimately decided to let me in the deal because of my reputation as someone who had been a giver, quote unquote giver.

And that's been a long relationship.

Company's doing great.

That's been fine.

And that became the story in the book.
