I think everybody deals with the same stuff. It's just different doses and different times, right? I think, you know, listen, college, honestly, for me, was good. As much as people are like, I did learn a lot about sociological theory. I did. I learned a lot about the DSM-IV and diagnoses, and I got a master's degree. So I did learn some stuff. So I'm not going to minimize that.

But I can tell you that... it was putting it to use. So I heard the same stuff my peers heard in school. Then I was like, cool, I'm going to go put it to use and see if it works. But I think a lot of it's experiential. I think the foundation was good for me, but then I took it to a different level. I was like, all right, dude, let me go figure these things out and always be bold.

I always tell myself default to aggressive, like whatever's happened, just default to aggressive, be intellectual about it, be intentional, but let's default to aggressive.

And that's a great question. I think your ability to explain and market yourself in 30 or 45 seconds, your ability to sell who you are, whether it's to a client, whether it's to a lender, whether it's to a peer, whether it's to a recruit, a lot of people don't develop that communication style. Start with you. Why should I work with you? What is it about you? What do you bring to the table?

What are your strengths, your weaknesses? So I'd perfect your communication as it pertains to you as a business person, because that's all sales is. You only communicate who you are. I come in here, you do your thing. You're very, very intentional about it. And I got to give you number two, learn from people.
