Patrick Campbell said this about me. I have a very, very strong filter. And so he was making this comment about how there's 2 types of friends. You have transactional friends and then you have friend friends, right? And then he looked at me and he's like, you're kind of a mix between the 2. I was like, what do you mean by that? And he's like, it's really difficult for you to let someone in. So it might appear transactional first, but once you let them in, like you're in, like you'll do everything for them, right? And that's completely true with me. My point of saying all this is you want to hang out with people who are humble, hungry, smart. And maybe if you're in your early 20s right now, or even in your teens, you might not know what that filter is, but you can keep optimizing that filter over time.
