What are you doing when you audition for a role? You're selling. I mean, you're trying to get a summer job. You're selling yourself. So I think this is something that would absolutely transform

the demographics of the labor market. Because I'm telling you, I spent 30 years as a journalist, and I always asked people when they got interested in starting their own business. And I can't tell you how many boys told me about their damn paper route, or their yard business, or about their side hustle they did, or stories like Tony Hsieh selling pizza for a dollar.

No, I think I think the boys would be jealous. And there's no reason it should be gender binary. But honestly, like if I were starting it, my go to market would be initially black.
