I have to find out where they are and match them and meet them where they are. I think that the biggest skill that I've developed over my career that works for me in this setting is that I am a very active listener. That I hear what someone is saying. I make sure that I repeat back to them so that I'm understanding what they're presenting to me.

That's how I will learn the language of different entrepreneurs of the kind that I have not encountered extensively in my career at Booth. I think that's what I will do.

Yeah, it's funny that you say that because that's what I do for people, right? So when I'm helping them tell their story, I listen to their story and then I tell it back to them in a way that's more concise, powerful and compelling. And they're like, can you just pitch it for me? I often joke with them that one of my strongest talents is translating English to English.

I don't know any other languages. Unlike you, Vince, I am not multilingual, but I am a really good English to English translator.

I think that's a fantastic question. I am super glad that i got out of teaching at the time when generative ai is emerging on the market i think teaching is going to have to change dramatically the written assignment i remember when i was growing up we memorized the multiplication tables when we get to high school They say, okay, now you don't have to do your long division.

Now you don't have to do it all on pencil and paper. You can finally use a calculator. We needed you to learn how to do it so that your brain would actually understand what the calculator was doing for you. Right? But you can now use a calculator. And then you get into college. particularly nowadays, where you can now build an Excel spreadsheet.

So what has happened to math and teaching math and the role of memorizing the multiplication tables is what's now happening with English, right? What's happening with language. Not just English, but any language. And that is, I can prompt a chat GPT to write a paper on Moby Dick without even reading the book.

If I don't read the book and write the paper, my brain is not actually growing into the pathways that... Reading and thinking and doing your own analysis allows it to do. And then every kid's paper about Moby Dick says exactly the same thing. How the world is going to deal with this is completely beyond me, but I'm really glad it's not my problem to solve.
