Also, it says on here that you used to work for Groupon Corporate. I was the 70-something employee of Groupon, actually. Wow, you are old. It was my first job out of college. I was a customer service temp. I started as a temp there, answering phones for people who bought Groupons and had problems. And by the time I was 25 and left that job to move to New York,

I was managing call centers in Virginia, Ohio, and Texas. Damn. And, like, remotely from Chicago. But I would have to go every quarter and, like, visit these call centers. And it was so funny because I was very young. And it's just this thing of, like, back then that was, like, early startup culture. Right. Where it was, like, everyone's sitting on a yoga ball. There's free snacks in the kitchen.

There's a ping pong table. You know, like, it was, like, the golden age. Everyone's seeing jobs in the garage. Yeah. Yeah. Google tried to buy Groupon for $6 billion while I worked there, and they said, no. They said, actually, we think we can get bigger than that. And I was like, even then, I was like, okay. I was like... Real confident. Yeah, I was like, do you know what we do here?

And yeah, and so it was like that thing of like, when you start at a company that early, that grows that fast, like they just start promoting you. Even though I was like a child. And like- Even though you're illiquid.

And yeah, and so it was like that thing of like, when you start at a company that early, that grows that fast, like they just start promoting you. Even though I was like a child. And like- Even though you're illiquid.

I like, and the thing was, is that when I had to go visit these call centers, the like 40 something year old guys who like ran the floor on these call centers, who were like the actual managers on the ground, hated me. Because here I, like this twink coming in, I'm like- Being like, actually, did you hit your numbers? And, like, they literally despised that they had to report to me.

We would call them, and they would think that we were, because we were called Total Attorneys... the person who was going to give them legal advice. And a lot of these people were in jail, like in processing, holding, whatever, and they needed an immediate help.
