Like, you gotta have a little bit of that in your life in terms of how I myself behave sometimes.

It's like, if you're a startup founder, you do wanna kinda dress to the level of the room, but you kinda shouldn't show up and, like, like, you shouldn't have a Rolex. Right? It's, like, very classless, if that makes sense, to, like, show up as a startup founder with a Rolex. Right? It's just not again, it goes back to heart rates, trying too hard.
