I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

This endorsement might make me want to actually listen. Should I?

Why?
Because he and i have struggled to connect, but we both love the coens, and it turns out we both dislike the same coen movies. it makes me feel closer to him.

I really felt like Jorge was going to take-over the interview toward the beginning. I'm glad that didn't happen. That was a really great listen. It's nice to hear people talk about growth and perspective.

Thanks, guys. I really loved this.
