It's amazing how much of the world runs on confident CEOs convincing gullible investors to give them money and confident salespeople convincing gullible customers to buy their junk. I wish I re-did my character creation and put all my skill points into charisma.

No. When the chips are down and your back is to the wall, I don't want the charisma guy, I want the indefatigable reality guy.
The art world is the same. Plus all the rich nepo babies who put on their own shows and can afford to lose money their entire life..
i.e. the world running on scams, or rather, despite scams.
