Bro, this is one of the best AMAs I have ever read. I just want to say I haven't seen many of your movies and stuck you in a kid star bucket in my mind but you have blown me away. Watching everything you ever did over the weekend and am an instant fan. Thanks man, really really impressed.

I rub my nipples to the thought of more collaborations between those two. Love the Zo and love Porter.

Hi all, I am coming in late to this conversation but, hate to be that guy, webanalyst is answering questions at a very junior level. Not to say they don't know what they are saying, but its clear that the use of "senior" is used very liberally here.

Background - Deploying and running enterprise analytic, marketing, and technology platforms across numerous blue chip type .coms for almost 9 years.

Married to a senior analyst at a major travel partner with lots of background myself as global product owner at an OTA.

We over at /r/adops are laughing our asses off at these answer as the person is pretty much misses the mark on so many things.

So when you say verified, I get it, they sent a linkedin saying they were an analyst, but let me know what company they work for because they need to hire someone competent.

Mike, first off you very much rock. Thanks for your years of service and you record of being for the people.

A few questions.

1) How can a 25-30 y.o. get involved and elected into a position of political power these days without corporate backing? Should we start at the local city level to get our feet wet? Many folks are desperate to get involved but need help knowing what some good first steps are. Most of us don't have access to Ivy league schools with the connections they give and any advice would be appreciated.

2)Along those lines, most of assume that when you get elected to a high position in the government by both lobbying business interests that you feel you can represent and allowing your self to be lobbied something along the lines of:"we will contribute money to your campaign if you vote for us". How hard is it to get lobbiest to donate and how do you keep yourself from becoming a slave to the corperate money?

3)You have said yourself that you were a womanizer in your senate days. Do Washington interns throw themselves at senators/congress-critters or is lobbyist or do you get most of your attention from local constituents?

Don't. EVER!

Objectives are stupid and miss the mark. Your objective is to get the most money possible, do the least amount of work and get hired over everyone else. So what do you replace objectives with?

PROFILE! Use that space to give a nice small (three or four sentences max) to cover your over all experience, description of what you bring to the table and why you are bad ass.
