Cameron Herold was told he's boring because he only talks about work and drinking. He argues founders need actual hobbies and personal stories, not just business talk. People want to hear about your life and insecurities, not how much money you make.

She said, Cameron, you're fucking boring. She goes, all you talk about is when you got drunk. No one gives a shit. And I realized I had no hobbies. It drives me crazy when people say my business is my hobby because I don't want to hear a lawyer talk about law. I don't want to talk to hear a dentist talk about dentistry. I want to hear about your life, your hobbies, your passions, your insecurities, your childhood traumas, your whatever you're into. I want to hear about that. Yeah, I don't give a fuck what you do to make money, and nobody cares what I do to make money.
