…I’ll see myself out.

But real talk — I bring cookies to every training on purpose. Four hours of new tech goes a lot easier when the room feels human first. AI is the topic; trust is the medium. You learn better from someone you’ve broken bread with. Or, fine, broken cookies with.

Also, bringing homemade cookies gives my lovely wife and daughters a meaningful way to contribute even more to the family business.
