Summary
Machine Method Phase: DISCOVERY
Rob is a creative guy, he’s a passionate guy, and numbers used to make him fall asleep. Presented with a spreadsheet, he would literally nod off. He sought to hire people to “deal” with that part of his businesses, but then realized something crucial: No one is going to care about your business like you are. So he got to work learning the financial side of business, and now financial models make him giddy and he’s been far more successful as a result.
We’ve also got three aspiring Do-Or-Diers that sent in pitch videos. Rob provides some clarity in directing one company to focus their boundless energy. He talks to another about really getting back into the numbers to make his business model work. And works with one to excel in a consumable market.

| 0:59.7 | And I know there's a lot of energy and desire and hope and dreams connected to that pitch that we could connect and build a company. |
| 1:08.0 | And but a lot of times it just isn't sort of meant to be for, for a lot of |
| 1:12.7 | different reasons. And, and what I like to do is spend some time with those that have |
| 1:17.6 | pitched really great ideas and just share my thoughts and insights to be as helpful as I can. |

| 1:30.9 | introduction. |
| 1:31.6 | There's some entrepreneurs that I think perhaps a handful of conversations with different |
| 1:37.7 | entrepreneurs, myself and some experience, they might begin to learn and evolve and be a future partner. |
| 1:45.4 | You know, so everybody that I connect with through the Deer Deck Machine, |
| 1:49.5 | I'm always playing the long game, you know, |
