Hi John,
I ´m really fascinated of your coolness and wisdom.
The way you present things and specially your interviews
about the business itself is really positive.
Its not that kind of jokey presentation such as andrew kramer,
but its great that its you.
Since I started with AE in 2010 (really latestarter) I learned
only from you guys solving problems.
I think the difference is the business you ´re in.

I agree with you in all you have said except that I think we should refrain from mentioning “other people’s” names. Some of us like their non-boring jokes. Otherwise, you have a point in what you have said.

I agree with both of you that optimism must be blended with “good behaviour” and hard work without which optimism itself becomes useless. I always learn nice things from you guys. Always.
