I guess all of this stuff also applies to when you're making video clips for social media. So many of us are building personal brands and trying to make content, but we make boring, unengaging videos.

I think there'll be a certain cohort of people listening that just go, oh, God, this is so... I know, I know.

It sounds so exhausting, Vin, and I just can't be bothered, Vin. I can't. You must have heard this before. I've heard it before.

If you want this, then this is how you get it. The world has really changed, especially in the last couple of years post-pandemic, and much of our communication now takes place on video calls, Zoom, Google Hangouts, this kind of thing. How do the rules that you've said and you've talked about today apply or not apply to when I'm doing my Zoom meetings? Yeah.

All of your vocal foundations disappear. So what do I need to be thinking about to be effective? I want to be the most effective person on my Zoom calls. Because I do worry sometimes. I do worry because I have big investment meetings and stuff with startups or founders that I'm in the process of trying to do a deal with. And I think, God, if we do this on Zoom, it might not be so good.

I might come across worse. I feel like I'll come across better in person. So I often move the meeting to in person. And then sometimes it's not always convenient, right? It's never convenient because you've got to drive somewhere and fly somewhere. So I'd rather be effective on Zoom. Nothing will replace this.

Okay.

So much of this is about identity, isn't it? It is. We're like, so many of us, including me, we're trapped in our identity, like who we think we are. Do you know what one of the really remarkable things that always reminds me how like BS, our communication style and our identity by way of this is, is just different accents.
