My first mutual interview.

So, my old job wants be back.

By "old," I mean a decade ago. I've been running my own companies since the mid-90's. But now, the last job I had where I worked for someone else wants me to take over their New York operations. In some ways, I'm totally honored. I mean, it's the second largest office of the single largest company of it's type. In other ways, I'm a little suspicious: I've left this company once before.

I met with the guy they want me to replace for one-and-a-half hours. At the end, I said to him: "We've been talking for an hour... tell me what makes me wrong for the job." He said: "I can't see a single thing." I said: "That's impossible." He said, "No, it's not. You're what we need here."

Happily, it's not a decision, yet. The next step will be to discuss the numbers, metrics, goals, etc. One thing at a time.

Love to all. Even you, the strange, throwback sales guy.
