I don’t think it’s a coincidence that all people who are considered geniuses have a common trait: they sabotage their shit. My circle is a textbook example of that. But Jay’s best trait is that he asks questions. He’s not afraid to take advice. It’s never been a brown-nosey thing with him. He hates that; never do you laugh at the boss’ jokes when they’re not funny. He’s always willing to A-B it: Let’s try A, let’s try B, and let’s even try C, and figure out which one works best. That approach is key to anyone’s survival.
