And it's interesting asking this question. Is it because they were geniuses? And when I say genius, I don't mean IQ. I mean they're exceptional in their field. Yes. Right? Whether it's sports, whether it's technology, finance. It's a form of genius. Relationships, interpersonal skills, interpersonal communication.
