What Did You Learn From Your First Conversation?

I always had the mindset of if a company or a PE firm wants to talk to me, I'll take a conversation because it's a world that I'm not exposed to. My advisor and investor, Pete Shuybaum, he had been through acquisitions himself as well. He helped guide me through a lot of conversations. And I ended up getting pretty decent at how to have that conversation,. How to have that dance, and what to share versus what not to. What did you learn for folks who were going through this first time, they'd be curious?
