Maybe part of my grounding?
that’s awesome dude
55:24
got ambition
56:33
by the way….how did you learn to network?
56:43
like where did you learn it from
jason adams 12:57
when i was really young
57:29
like 4
57:33
my dad started showing me computers
57:49
I was so good at computers by the time i was 10 that I had established it as part of my identity
58:01
Given with the teenage years of rebellion and angst against authority
58:04
I got really into hacking
58:13
in hacking they had something they called “social engineering”
58:20
I really liked this aspect of it
58:32
because basically you were setting up people to give you the information you needed to get the things you wanted done
58:37
without having to hack or find a loophole around it
58:47
When I was a kid i always said I wanted to be a con artist
58:50
because I also used to do magic
58:55
kinda all those shady “arts”
58:56
were my thing
58:59
I learned to lock pick
59:01
all that kinds of shit
59:11
probably wanted to be a con artist because I saw a movie called “the saint” and the con was the hero
59:15
anyways got into it
59:21
used to trick people into give me passwords
59:25
pretend to be their bosses on the phone
59:26
shit like that
59:31
that taught me what was possible
59:45
then my dad got me the book “How to win friends and influence people” by dale carnegie
59:54
and that taught me most of all the power of the smile and people loving the sound of their own name
00:09
i felt like friends was a measure of my worth
00:13
so i got really into having lots and lots of friends
00:17
carried over to college
00:23
got out of hand when i started joining organizations too
00:26
2 fraternities
00:32
marketing group (lots of girls)
00:34
fashion
00:38
everything
00:42
just to meet people
00:44
then enter pickup
00:50
and learning about the basics of social communication
01:08
and how every smallest sign or every interaction or motion in a social instance is just a measure of value
01:10
are you giving
01:11
are you taking
01:12
etc
01:19
And then getting into networking as a hole
01:22
Thats where.
