So I'm having dinner tonight with this guy... new client.... tons and tons of potential business at stake.
And this guy is hardcore.
Government, big oil, and fast-tracked to the tits.
And I'm listening to him, and thinking: "You, sir, are a doofus."
Of course what I'm really saying is: "Okay, I understand where you're coming from."
It got me to thinking about this place..... The OC.
Here, I just spew away. Whatever I'm thinking, I just say it.
So then I'm thinking about why that is. Why is it that I speak my mind here in all its gory detail, and do not in the BOOM HEADSHOT real life.
And I came up with a myriad of reasons. But the one that stood out - and caught me off guard - was that, it turns out, I really do respect your opinions, and value your your insights. I learn a lot here. A lot. From all of you.
Anyways, I ended the dinner thanking him for the meeting, and etc. "It was nice to finally put a face to the voice, and etc."
So it's only appropriate that I thank you guys as well.
Thank you.
