Why My Assistant Quit

Taylor's not here right now, but yes, our leader. No, no, no, no. Okay. Yeah, it's definitely my fault. I'm not like a business-oriented person at all. And that's why I think it's so funny. Like, like we just do things that— this is also a thing about like the internet and about like, like entertainment in general is like when you're doing things and you're doing good at them, opportunities just kind of come to you. All you need is to hire people to catch those opportunities because sometimes there'll be too many. So like, I think it's so funny, like, you know, there was times where we were doing like 6 things at once and everyone, you know, I would see comments like, David's a fucking business mogul. And I'd be like, no, I'm just like, I'm having Natalie respond to emails. Like, it was like, it's so crazy how easy it is to do things when you're killing it. It's so easy. Like, it's like, so it's like, and, and, you know, there's definitely moments where, like, influencers will, like, spend a lot of time on things or, like, actors will spend a lot of time on things. But, like, I would say 80% of the time when, like, an actor comes out with, like, a tequila and they, like, make the Instagram caption, like, I've been working on this for 2 years and I'm finally here. That's not true. Their team has been working on it.

They had a meeting 2 years ago about it. They had a meeting one more, and then it came out. Yeah.
David12:41
And the actor or celebrity went, Let's do it. And then 2 years later they came back to where the meeting was and the product was there. That's not true in all cases, but like, it is very easy to do that. But I don't want to— people that make their own tequila…
