Case in point. (Every word of this story is true)
A few days ago I was to drive around a very famous entrepreneur and CEO and help him evaluate a business opportunity.
It was fair to say I was a little nervous as I drove up to the Hotel and picked up this VIP and his key executive in my car. The day started at 7:30am and I was to drop him off at 6pm to catch his private jet back to the East Coast.
The day went very well. I made witty comments, made some good business points, embellished my accomplishments, and otherwise didn't make a fool of myself.
Towards the end of the day we got back into my car after visiting another location. This time his key executive was in the passenger seat and He was in the back of the car. As I pull out of the parking lot I look into my rear view mirror and realize that Mr. Big Shot has his shoe and sock off. Not only that but he was holding his bare foot towards his face and examining his foot.
I politely asked if anything was wrong to which he replied yes, he had a Corn on his foot that was driving him crazy.
He then asked me if I had any clippers or a knife so he could cut it off!
At this point his protege, who was a women, jumped into the conversation.
Freaked out woman executive:
Your not serious?
World Famous CEO:
Yeah, if I just cut it off it will be fine. Give me some clippers.
Freaked out woman executive:
Gross!! I have some clippers but I don't want them back
World Famous CEO:
Great I'm gonna cut the hell out of this little bugger
Freaked out woman executive:
ewe. Don't leave any skin back there
World Famous CEO:
Of course not, I'll just throw it out the window.
And so there he sat cutting off pieces of skin and hucking them out the window.
We all decided against the investment so I wont be working with him on a regular basis - yet. But I like the guy, he's got snappers.
In the meantime every Thursday night I can watch The Office and chuckle because I know what life is really like at the top.
