harder to understand than someone who is talking very, very quickly. And I can't keep up. And you have to pause. When you say I had a 10x on my last fund, you have to stop and give me a moment to absorb it because that's something important to use that as one example, but there are many.
If you're saying something very important, give it space, take a breath, take a break. And so I find that often folks are talking so fast or they have a slide that is so busy that I just have a slide that says I have a 10x on my last fund
