You have to connect the dots by looking at a board member or a C-level executive at a place and going, oh, they used to work at this company and I actually know someone. Was there any overlap there? And like, again, you work your network or you work the kind of connections a bit and next thing you know, you're having a warm conversation with someone. And I think

I think the other thing I also find a lot of entrepreneurs doing... And I think I did this, but then... I don't remember what I did when I was young fully, but... man, if you go to someone and you're just honest and you put your hat in your hand and you say, you know what?

Like if I was starting this hedge fund thing and I didn't have a network, I know someone in finance. I try to find someone senior in the finance world, somebody's friend, somebody's cousin, someone's something. And I'd say, listen, here's the idea I have. Honestly, I don't know if it's a good idea or not. All I want to do is meet people to try to better understand if this is a good idea.

And if so, what do I need to do to make it a real thing? And man, humans are humans. And anytime I've come with that mindset or orientation to somebody, all that's happened is their heart has opened up to me. And they've said, you know what, there's three or four people I think you could connect with. And I think they'd really be able to give you a big perspective.

Well, again, I say two things. I think, well, one is depending on your age, it does matter where you go to college. And that's like a fun one on Twitter that I always throw at people because people love saying it doesn't. And I can tell you that the biggest meal ticket of my life was going to Wharton. I went to a very average public high school. It was like middle class immigrant parents.
