Went to my son's career day yesterday

The teacher said each parent gets 3 minutes

I asked if there was a hard stop or if this was more of a "suggested timeline"

She said 3 minutes

The dad before me was a firefighter. The kids loved it. He brought a helmet. Let them try it on. Very theatrical.

My son whispered "don't worry, you're going to do great."

I wasn't worried. I brought a pitch deck. Objects aligned perfectly horizontally and vertically.

14 slides. One appendix. Two scenario analyses. A waterfall chart I stayed up until 11pm simplifying so a 5 year old could follow the value creation framework.

Slide one: "What is a CFO."
Slide two: "What is EBITDA."
Slide three: "Why EBITDA matters."
Slide four: "Why adjusted EBITDA matters more."

I lost the room at slide one.

One kid asked if I help people. I said I help companies become more efficient. He asked if that means I fire people. I said no, we right-size.

He started crying.

The teacher stepped in. Said maybe we could do a Q&A instead. Great pivot. Very collaborative.

A girl in the front row asked what I make. I said Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint decks. She said "my mom makes cupcakes." Different verticals.

My son stood up and said "my dad makes companies worth more money so the people who own them can sell them for a lot of money."

Dead silence.

The teacher said "that's... one way to describe it."

My son said "it's the only way to describe it."

I have never been more proud of anything in my entire life.

I told him that in the car. He said "thanks, can we get Chick-fil-A."

My son asked if the expense was tax deductible.

One could argue I'm teaching my son more than the teacher.

We got Chick-fil-A.

Plz fix. Thx.

Once you see this move from your boy at the bar —it’s time to get the crew out of there

People hate daylight savings because you lose an hour. I see it as one hour closer to reporting Q1 results for the shareholders.
