Hey guys, before today's episode of the podcast, I want you to text me 212-931-5731.

I'm scared that there's a lack of self-awareness and everybody does binary things like the same

kids that blindly went to MBAs are now blindly doing startups.

And let me just remind everybody, number 11 at Facebook made a lot more money than number

I'm more worried about are you self-aware enough of what kind of founder or entrepreneur

are you?

And do you know how to surround yourself with the things that you need to be successful
