You have to use it.

It's so fun because the problem with biographies and like listening to your podcast is you're telling me these stories when I already know the ending and it's so much better to go back.

So for example, you could read about like Dan Gilbert and he's just one of the greats when it comes to being an entrepreneur.

And you can read about him and watch interviews, but you know that he was successful.

You already know the outcome of the story.

And so it's really fun to go back.

I use newspapers all the time because I go and find articles in the 80s and I'll find his first profile.

Like the very first time a newspaper wrote about him.

And like, what were they saying about him right then and there?

Or how were they disrespecting them?

Or did they like, could they spot it?

Or like, because there's revisionist history.

Like what were people saying about him then and there?

Because I was in San Francisco starting, I moved to San Francisco when I was 21.

And there's a bunch of like people that are ballers now.

And I'm like, I knew that guy when we were nothing.

I did not see that.

I did not know that he had that in him or this person I thought was going to be the shit.

They were nothing.

And so it kind of becomes hard to like predict who's going to be, I mean, obviously angel investing would be a lot easier if this were the case.
