I just met the woman of my dreams.

You gotta chill out and not come out too strong.

My first impression of Eugene was that he was a very bubbly, friendly, gregarious person.

You know, a classic salesperson.

People liked him a lot.

Everyone was like, oh, you know, that's Eugene.

He was like a salesy kind of guy.

So I think probably that turned some people off of like, okay, well, you know, he's a fast talker and that kind of a thing in the way that like a lot of salespeople will turn people off, you know.

You know, my boss at the time set up some time with him to say, you know, talk to Eugene about what he does and his job.

And I just remember leaving the meeting with good vibes.

And like, I mean, I was a young employee navigating how to be a professional.

You know, I went to him for advice all the time.

I didn't probe too much into his background, but everybody knew it was open knowledge that he didn't drink.

He was a recovering alcoholic.

He had clearly been to AA and internalized a lot of self-help best practices, so to speak.

Can I remember The Four Agreements right now?

No.

Some of the things I remember are you need to agree to not take anything personally.

How other people interact with you and go through the world is not a reflection of you.

It's a reflection of them personally.
