Absolutely.

But it's not early.

It's not in your 20s.

I think sometimes people are playing that

say no script a little too early on.

Even more so because the people who are working with you don't want to hear about your Stanford MBA.

How is that going to help them when the restaurant's busy and you've got a line out the door?

So I actually sort of like muted that part of my academic success a little bit and just showed up as like the delightful, hardworking person.

who was going to always get it done.

So I think the first thing that you need to do is like work for an early stage team.

I think that's a really good first step.

So I met these two amazing hipster guys, Thomas and Dave.

They'd bought a food truck, painted it bright orange.

It was called MexiQ.

The food was delicious.

There were lines out the door.

but they didn't have an operating plan.

They didn't have a go-to-market strategy.

They didn't have a supply.

So they didn't have a lot of the structures that I had learned working for Danny.
