And I've trained them in my framework for these are the 13 qualities we look for in investing in a startup. And these are the 25 red flags. And I've now got seven people. We did 110, 120 meetings one week recently. And so it's just much better to train them ourselves and make your own training program, I believe.

A lot of this comes down to motivation. At a certain point, a person has to be motivated to put in a lot of hours and become excellent at whatever their chosen profession is.

MIT 1401 principles in microeconomics, supply and demand. I mean, it was like incredible. And you know, this is stuff I just didn't ever get exposed to. And I was able to do it for free.

All right. Decision 2024. Get ready for a bit of chaos here, folks. The DNC is underway as we tape. We tape on Thursdays, as you know. I think Kamala will give her acceptance speech tonight. DNC pulled out all of their all-stars, Michelle Obama, Barack, Hillary, Bill Clinton, Oprah, and Tim Walz spoke last night. Most people felt he had a pretty strong showing.

Our guy Nate Silver, friend of the pod, has the election as essentially neck and neck. We're in coin toss territory here. I think it's going to come down to the debates. I'm interested to hear what my besties think. Here is the Silver Bulletin, his new publication. He's not at 538 anymore, just Kamala at 47, Trump at almost 45. And this all will come down to the swing states.

I think, as we all know, he's got a really great interactive chart over there. He's got Harris with clear leads in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Virginia. I think those were about 68 electoral college votes. Trump with clear leads in Georgia and Florida. My Lord, Florida is 29 or 30 electoral college votes. That's a lot.
