Do they just see themselves as misunderstood geniuses who are trying to save the world

I just did a really great interview.

I recommend listening with Brian Cheskey at our pivot conference.

I like Brian.

And he understood.

He was like, look, if you get licked up and down all day eventually, you're going to

think you're Jesus, right?

I don't like to mix those metaphors, but you know what I'm saying.

He he talked a lot about this issue about being, you know, told you were right and you

surround yourself with people who agree with you violently.

But yes, that's, that Kara Swisher, she's so mean, you know, that could be whatever.

If you say it over and over again, and sometimes I am mean, but not all the time.

I'm John Favreau.
