00:00:00.000 My brother had an assistant three or four months after the fact.
00:00:02.420 I don't understand what the big idea is.
00:00:03.700 She's useful.
00:00:04.360 It's helping me a bit.
00:00:05.320 But, and I go, oh, you didn't delegate your inbox.
00:00:08.000 You just CC her on emails to do stuff.
00:00:10.380 There's a difference.
00:00:11.380 Your inbox is a public to-do list of strangers off the internet asking for your time.
00:00:16.600 I wouldn't allow randos off the street to come up the elevator to walk into my office
00:00:22.020 and be like, do you want to invest in my crypto scheme?
00:00:25.020 The way the world worked before is you have an assistant sit outside your door.
00:00:28.000 When you came up to the door, they would say, hey, how can I help?
00:00:30.880 I want to talk to Dan.
00:00:31.480 What do you want to talk to him about?
00:00:32.300 I need to talk about my crypto project.
00:00:33.760 Tell me more.
00:00:34.460 And you tell that person what your project is.
00:00:36.460 And they go, let me write it down.
00:00:37.960 I'll review it with Dan when we meet up.
00:00:39.460 And I'll circle back only if there's an interest.
