I had 39 one on one interviews to get the job at Goldman. And not including dinners, lunches, informational. This was 39 one on one interviews to get a job at Goldman. And of those, the craziest, those was I walk into the managing partner's office when the crisis was happening. And he walks in frazzled with a briefcase and, a leather and he sits down. "You're a hotshot? I see hotshots like you. He drops my prospect list. Here, set me some appointments." And he pushes the book towards me. And I'm what to do. So I grab the book. I look at it and it has Lewis's number on it. I said, "Would you..." He goes, "Yeah, set me an appointment." And I said, "Sir, to misrepresent you. Could you give me a script so I can have this conversation?" He looks at me. He wraps up the book. He stands up. He shakes my hand. "You'll do great, kid." And he walks out. And so I see him at the cocktail party. And I said, "That should have gone really bad or really well, what happened?" He says, "I've interviewed, MBA grads for the last 20 years, I do the same exact routine. Only two of you have actually had enough humility to stop and say, give me a script."
