Bill Lee, Chris Sacca, Ron Conway ahead of me, but they don't angel invest anymore. I will say that there are three or four angel investors who did really well. Geoff: So what's the edge? I mean there's a lot of credible people in the area, what do you think is your unique edge here? angel, the greatest of all time angel investor. Geoff: So a lot of people consider you the G.O.A.T. Jason: It is my pleasure, thanks for having me. Geoff: So great to have you in our studio. Geoff: I'm excited to talk to my friend Jason Calacanis. And so, people see the work ethic I put in, and they see the goals I set. If you are the greatest of all time and you aspire to be the greatest of all time you will attract the greatest. I want people to understand that I am confident that if I invest in your company, we're going to do great things together, and that I can be a game changing investor.
