That was a really good intro for making it up just then, and it definitely sounded like that, like it was bad in the way jazz is bad.

Well, you're dodging the question of that wonderful music we were just listening to from your album, "Hardly Working." Please check it out, it's awesome! It's on iTunes; you can buy it. I'm not sure what song was that— that was "Look No Further." Yeah, and it's about how you can find you; you don't need to be reading like business books or anything like that in order to learn how to be great at business. You can find beauty in witnessing the birth of an octopus, for example, or other such natural wonders.

I had specifically requested "Rison" above "The Pack" because that's my favorite. But anyway, that's one of my favorites. So right, um, thank you for coming! I'd love to spend a few minutes before we get into Groupon, because I know the audience is probably excited to hear about Groupon. But to hear about— before Groupon, you started a company called The Point. I'd love to hear a little bit about that.

Okay, specifically like just how you came up with the idea and what went wrong with it; why it didn't work, you know, how you got started, that kind of thing, 'cause it led to Groupon. It led to Groupon, so I think— mm-hm.

Why is this an awkward-looking way to sit in this chair? Because I feel extremely awkward. Well, you can't lean back, that's for sure. So maybe just— you do look a little uncomfortable.
