Speaker 2
Mark, I am so excited this. Our second time. Thank you so much for joining me once again.
Speaker 1
Great to be with you, Harry. I'm glad that we have a slightly better video setup this time. We've
Speaker 2
got a fantastic video setup. You look younger and younger, Mark. I have my two
Speaker 1
dogs here underneath the desk, so hopefully I'm petting one. I hope that they don't start barking, but I'm just giving you the heads up on that.
Speaker 2
Well, fingers crossed. Listen, I've interviewed many VCs, so it'd make more sense than what they say. So don't worry about it. My question to you to start, actually.
Speaker 1
You're saying that VCs are like barking dogs?
Speaker 2
Do you know what? At least barking dogs stop. But yes, my question to you is, I hear that you've actually got quite an interest in podcasts now. And I'd love to hear your thoughts on how you think about-
Speaker 1
You were my first, Harry, and you'll always be my first. And you know, you never forget your first, Harry. Do
Speaker 2
you know what, Mark? It's not something I ever thought I'd be really proud to hear, but it fills me with pride. How do you think about the changing importance of a CEO brand? When you think about that today, how do you think about that when you listen to podcasts? Well,
Speaker 1
I listen to more podcasts than ever myself, which is what all of a sudden it occurred to me, I should be doing more podcasts. I will just tell you this, which is that I listen to more podcasts myself. I enjoy podcasts. I realize I need to learn how to be on a podcast. I don't know the snappy things to say. I don't know how to like get people's attention right away that I haven't been on a podcast. So I may see some crazy things or terrible things. So get ready for something crazy to happen. Because I don't know how to do the podcast very well. A lot of my friends are really good. They're scripted. They're reading. They say these really punchy things. I'm like, wow, they really like priming themselves. I'm like, I've got my dogs, two golden retrievers under my desk. I'm like, crazy things are happening. And no, I don't know what to do. I don't know how to pan out of podcasts.
