A story about a night at an Australian club with an MTV personality and a rap star, where the speaker learns how salesmen and rappers use the same skill: framing. One spins a product, the other spins a story. Both are selling something.

I was hanging out with some big rap star. I had this big keynote in Australia. So they took me to this club and we're setting with this big MTV guy from, like, New York. Millions of followers. I don't remember his name, not 50 Cent or anything, but. And I'm just like, so, so what do you do? He's like, well, I have the show mtv. I'm like, oh, mtv. Like, they still, like, they still do mtv. I'm like, oblivious because I never listened to that. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I didn't act like a fanboy like everybody else. We sat there and had like a three hour conversation about business and monetizing his stuff and everything. Like, I just act like I didn't care. I'm like, oh, rap star? Like, I don't even listen to music. So many people come up to him. They're like, oh, I'm a bigger spam, blah, blah. They're like, you know, I mean, yeah, that's it. They really are just. Just people.
