“We've been creating our memory files for each of our projects. So he has a Larry Brain memory file, he has a Larry Marketing memory file, and everything we've been doing He can revert back to, so if he ever loses context, I'm backing up these files, if he ever breaks, dies, if I ever want to move to a different machine, I have these files that I can just move and plug into a new computer, I can give back to him, or if he loses context, just say, look, go look at these files, read through it, and learn it again, and then he's back in the game.”
