Antiquated.
Look at Andy Pearson. Didn’t have that 1:1 category experience for Liquid Death (he posted or commented about that last year, as well )..,and he is living the creativity dream at a startup gone renown status. He was given the chance, the opportunity to apply his knowledge/experience in a territory he’s never been.
