Q Um, so what'd you do your undergrad in?
A Um, I was a public policy major, which was sort of politics, philosophy, and economics. And, um, I came out of that thinking, I don't think I want to go into politics, but the understanding why people do what they do and unintended consequences was really interesting to me. So, and law school, the first year of law school is very intellectually stimulating. It's really interesting. It's very absorbing. And we had one elective and the one elective that I heard I should try to get into was negotiation. So, I was lucky enough to get into the class. I take it the spring of my first year, and I just totally fell in love. Like, immediately, I thought, I could do this every day for the rest of my life, and learn something new every day.

And it sort of motivated the rest of his life to try to find better ways to help people manage conflict. And so he was a really inspirational person, um, and a really wonderful teacher because part of his philosophy was that you, you have to walk your talk and you have to Demonstrate what you are teaching and how you teach it, because teaching itself is a negotiation. You are negotiating for people's engagement and willingness to take risks and to admit mistakes, um, and to see what they have to learn, which is not easy with Harvard Law School students, right? Like failure muscles, not so well developed in that population. Um, so owning up to screwing something up, um, Is a big negotiation right in the learning process with each other. And so he was such an amazing teacher and negotiation in itself is such an interdisciplinary field that I just felt like this touches on everything in life. And, um, I want t…
