I think, I don't know if you've ever watched like some of the old, um, like Glenn Gary, Glenn Ross movies or, uh,

I mean, frankly, like.

Always be selling.

Oh, yeah.

ABC, right?

Closing.

You know, coffees for closers.

You watch some of these old school business or even shoot Wall Street.

Michael Douglas, amazing movie.

You watch these movies and you see these like business owners in these movies.

And it's a reflection, of course, of the society at the time, but they were selling widgets.

The executive could be selling tires or the executive could be selling soda water or they can be selling whatever.

It didn't matter.

They were implementing the same strategies to sell one widget as they would any other.

In many ways, business is now way more personal.

And I think one of the advantages of it being more personal is that you're able – like the company can attract people whose personal mission is tied into the company's mission.

I don't think that there are any – when I look at every leader that I admire, business leader that I admire, entrepreneur that I admire –

there there's no accident for why they're at their company or why they built their company either they experience a problem themselves and they went to solve the problem or they had something happen to them when they were younger in life and that kind of changed their mindset around that that that product there is a deep connection to it there's i mean fire belly tea my little tea uh uh tea company that i started dave siegel that you're you're now involved with a little bit um

The reason I wanted to start this company with Dave is, like, there's no one on the planet more passionate about tea.

And the fact that David Siegel, who created David's Tea, was not running a tea company, you know, in the modern world was ridiculous.
