Who Knows You?
I was visiting with my new 96-year-old friend recently. It was a feasibility and planning study interview for a client.
There are times when the standard questions go out the window. This was one of them.
We had a good conversation, and I gleaned a lot of great insight.
As we were winding down our visit, he said, "You know, it is not who you know, but who knows you."
