I was the worst IT person, and people would join and not know that I was in sales.

6:41 / 7:01

I was our IT person in Europe. It's the only job that I wanted to get fired from. I was the worst IT person, and people would join and not know that I was in sales. And they'd be like, well, this IT guy is actually not very good. And he doesn't know a lot about Apple laptops, and people would have to politely inform this thing. Ryan doesn't actually do IT. He's just the only person in Europe who actually knows how to set up this laptop.

Why this clip

Humorous, self-deprecating story about startup chaos with specific details and dialogue. The absurdity of being the 'worst IT person' while actually being in sales creates memorable, relatable content about early-stage hustle.
