And so he gives me this piece of paper and he says, I want you to take these classes. And it was Shakespeare, the philosophy of art, metaphysics, medieval history. I mean, all sorts of random stuff. And it was Mr. Stark. So I'm like, okay. And so I did that. And I just started taking all the classes that I had to.

And then I just started taking everything on that list and everything that I thought was fascinating. And I got to the end of my fifth year as non-graduate and realized I only needed two more classes and I could have a degree in political science. So I just stayed the summer. I already had my job offer for McKinsey. I was like, guys, can I start in September instead of July? They said, sure.

So I worked at two strategy consulting firms. One was Booz and the other was McKinsey. And I really credit them with an incredible learning experience. I like to say I learned more in my first three years at McKinsey than I did at Harvard Business School. And Booz is, of course, very similar. And what's beautiful about these firms is that they're 100 years old.

And so they've really had the chance to do the Kaizen, do the continuous improvement, get better and better. What I learned from them, which I think is the most important thing, is to let facts and logic lead you to conclusions rather than start with your conclusion and cherry pick facts and logic to support it. And I think it's a really valuable skill in business and life to be open-minded enough

to set aside your hypothesis, your preconceived notions, and let the facts and logic lead you to the truth. That's what those firms taught me. Well, lots of things, but I think that's the important one, the most important one.

That resonates. My college roommate of three years went to work for Arthur Anderson. And he really waxes nostalgic about how wonderful the place was. And then they just had that one screw up called Enron that took down this revered institution. It is, it's a very sad story.
