People like to work with and meet other people that they feel like they're at the same or above status as them. Oren Klaff in his book, he talks about a flash roll. He has some kind of prepared 15 to 20 seconds that puts out hooks for people to show that he's a high-value person very briefly. Now, people do this in different ways. Some people, I think, do it in a kind of a jerk way. Oh, you should like, oh, I just— my car on the way here, it's like an $800,000 car. You know what I mean? People do that to try to like flex on people. I don't know. There's different things people do to posture, and it's very interesting. I would not recommend that. Oren Klaff talks about is being a person of value. Yeah, we can like fake it or posture, but actually just be someone of value.
