I'm building a theater to record the podcast in and I'm building an incubator space and we're moving back to in-person.

I grandfathered the existing employees and I'm only hiring people in-person now because I feel something very big has been lost in terms of meeting with founders in-person and young people seeing me interact and my other senior team members with those founders in-person during a pitch meeting, during a product jam session, during a fundraising review. Yeah.

Yeah.

I agree 100%. And one of my first jobs working at Land Systems, my mentor, Mike Savino, was always working late. He was trying to move up in the organization and I wouldn't leave before he left. And then he would walk by and he'd say, it was in New York City. Hey, what are you working on? I'm reading these Novell networking books. I'm trying to get my certification. I'm trying to learn more.

He was second to the highest. And then I got to go to dinner with him. And then I got to hear about all the big clients. I got to hear how, you know, they were doing the pitches.

And then he started including me in pitches. And all of a sudden, I went from four degrees from him to reporting into him. And that's how I learned, you know, look at the person on the left. Look at the person on the right. Were you a CME? I was, I don't think I, yeah, I was actually, I was a certified network engineer.

I mean, if you had that in the 90s, you could make, you know, 50, 75, 100K.

I'm going to just tee up the latest polls, and then I ask our crack all-in research team to just give me the top couple of issues in the principal's own words, the principals being the press on either side, and the four people who are running for office. So let's just go through the numbers here. Nate Silver, a friend of the pod, now has Kamala Harris at 57% favorite to win the Electoral College.

There's your first chart. You can compare this to what happened with Biden before the hot swap. Trump had a 73% probability to win the Electoral College. So that is the swing of all swings. And obviously a lot has happened since then, as well as the assassination attempt on Trump. Massive swing for Harris, as you can see in Nate Silver's chart. He's doing something called silver bullets.

Pretty dramatic. Harris has flipped, according to Silver, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, and Virginia. Here's a couple of quotes, and then we'll get into it.
