So, what do you do?
> I'm a programmer Oh, who do you work for?
> Myself. I started a market research company with my best friend a year ago. Oh, like a start up?
> Yeah, I guess you can call it that. We do some contract work on the side to pay for things. Hows it going so far?
> Pretty good! We've tried out some things that haven't worked out and we're trying out new things. What about you, what do you do? - At this point, 99% of people feel as if they know everything about you. So the game, you the more intelligent entrepreneur with your max hax0r people skillz, is to find something interesting about them. If you manage to do that, then you might just have a new friend, and not just another business card. |

Well put. From a recent NYTimes
"With the exception of his time at Oxford, Haden has spent his entire adult life as the guy everybody knows as soon as he walks into the room. His friends say Haden’s gift is that he leaves knowing everybody else’s stories.
“He has such compassion and humility,” said J. K. McKay, who caught Haden’s passes at Bishop Amat High in La Puente, Calif., east of Los Angeles, and at U.S.C., where they were coached by McKay’s father, John."
