A well fitting $20 shirt is way better than a misfitting $500 shirt. If you're a startup founder, you shouldn't show up with a Rolex - it's very classless and goes back to trying too hard.
“Like, you gotta have a little bit of that in your life in terms of how I myself behave sometimes.”
Part of my joy at doing this is there is some level of hypocrisy in it. Right? Because, like, but but which is great. Like, you gotta have a little bit of that in your life in terms of how I myself behave sometimes. But, look, in the end of the day, like, a well fitting $20 shirt is way better than a misfitting $500 shirt. Right? And candidly, like, it's the same thing. 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.
