Like I like look at all the streets of my hometown or like I'm sure you have like, which I actually do want to ask you, like what are the all categories?

And you go through all of them and you would literally sit there in a group and write them down

Right away, you said, you know, you said light and we both lit up and you were like, now let's look at the Greek words for light.

You said that very quickly as if this is just one of the many places where you go treasure hunting.

What are the other handful of places that you'd like to dig?

you said lots of those basic things.

They're not basic to us.

We're dummies.

We're a few brain cells away from being just talking monkeys.

What are the other simple databases?

So my guess is that I'm just—we've only talked to you for 30 minutes, and I've already gleaned from you that, A, you're probably just incredibly talented at this, but—

you seem very process-driven.

You seem like you've acquired, you seem like you were creative and then you've made this into a skill, which implies it's somewhat teachable.

When Sean and I are trying to, we both have companies, when we're trying to manage creative people to come up with these bits of brilliance, whether it's just a name or it's anything else that's creative, you seem really good at this because you just seem like you know what you're doing.

What mistakes do you think that we are making with our team or a lot of our listeners are making with their employees on managing people when you're asking them to come up with something unique or creative or dangerous a little bit, you know, things like that?

The other day, I met this guy at a conference, and he was making his argument about why AI, we've peaked.

And I was like, well, I understand your argument.

I'm not low IQ, so I don't agree with you, but I totally get your argument.

Who's the alpha?

So I'm a self-taught copywriter, which means I'm pretty good, but I'm not world-class.
