Description
Drift, a Boston-based startup specializing in business marketing, recently doubled the size of its Back Bay headquarters. Mayor Walsh pays a visit and chats with the company's CEO and co-founder David Cancel about how the city is retaining young, talented, Boston-area college grads.
A
A
Thank
you
very
much
everybody
for
for
coming
this
morning,
we
we'd
like
to
welcome
the
mayor
and
and
his
organization,
particularly
Midori,
Marie
Cowie-
is
that
pronounced
right,
yeah,
it's
easier
to
say,
mayor
Walsh
from
me
than
Midori
Marie
Cawley,
but
Midori
runs
the
business
strategy
group,
but
the
mayor's
here
to
do
two
things
we'll
run
a
format
of
of
asking
some
questions
of
Mara
and
David.
With
regards
to
the
tech
industry
in
Boston
in
particular,
and
things
that
we're
doing
in
Boston,
and
then
we
may
have
the
opportunity
for
some
questions
at
the
end.
A
So
if
we
could
just
get
started
first
of
Mia,
the
reason
I'm
doing
this
moderation,
is
they
all
these?
The
average
age
here
average
age
here
is
28
right,
and
so
they
thought.
Okay,
how
do
we
make
the
mayor
comfortable
in
an
environment
where
the
average
age
is
28,
we'll
get
the
old
Irish
guy
to
interview
right?
So
that's
what
the
only
reason
I'm
here
do
you
work
in
security
here.
A
After
this,
it
might
be
depends
on
the
questions
we'll
talk
later.
The
the
other
thing
is,
is
today's
a
holiday?
Does
anybody
know
the
unofficial
holiday,
say
the
company
success
or
can
answer
this,
but
there's
anybody
else
know
positivity
day.
Today
is
national
positivity
day
it's
positive
thinking,
day
no
negative
thoughts,
positive
thinking,
day
and
and
the
reason
that
they
came
about
it
came
about
a
few
a
few
years
ago.
A
So,
even
if
you
are
like
in
a
positive
person
because
your
minds
is
exposed
to
so
much
negativity,
your
mind
is
conditioned
to
think
negatively,
and
so
what
they
found
is
that
over
time,
if
you,
if
you
think
positive
your
mind,
can
be
reconditioned,
so
today's
today's
day
was
meant
to
focus
on
that
say
to
recondition
the
mind,
and
so
with
that
I.
You
know
I
I
get
to
moderate
this,
as
I
said
and
I
was
thinking
to
the
questions
that
I
asked
Samia
right,
then
I
even
started
with
with
a
question
of
okay.
A
A
A
You
see
him
on
the
news
right
he's
always
focused
on
looking
he's
gay
he's
taking
his
jacket
off
now
he's
getting
ready,
but
he's
always
focused
on
answering
negative
questions
right
so
today
we're
gonna
make
it
a
positive
day
right,
and
the
objective
is
here
for
the
mayor
and
staff
to
leave
thinking
in
a
positive
way.
Okay,
and
so
anybody
who,
at
the
end,
if
we
have
time
for
questions
if
anybody's
got
a
negative
question,
save
it
for
later.
Okay,.
A
But
I'd
like
to
start
mr.
mayor,
everybody
here
knows
a
lot
about
David.
A
lot
of
us
know
too
much
about
David
to
be
honest,
but
people
here
know
about
you
from
the
press
or
the
TV
right
and
so
I'd
like
to
start
with
a
little
bit
of
a
personal
question.
You
know
you
you've
accomplished
a
lot
today.
You
know
in
your
life
and
in
in
the
government
and
in
the
city
of
Boston,
but
it
hasn't
come
without
personal
obstacles.
A
Right
and
and
you've
been
very
vocal
about
being
a
cancer
survivor
and
a
recovering
alcoholic
and
from
addiction.
But
so
the
the
question
is,
as
you
look
at
the
qualities
that
you
have
as
a
person,
what
sort
of
had
driven
those
things?
Those
are
things
that
in
people's
lives,
most
people
don't
encounter
either
of
those,
and
you
have
a
kind
of
two
of
those
traumatic
events
in
your
lives.
What
sort
of
inner
quality
has
driven
you
to
achieve?
The
success
that
you
have?
First.
B
Of
all,
thank
you
for
having
me
in
today.
It's
exciting
to
be
here
and
as
I
walked
in
I
couldn't
help
but
notice
everyone
seems
happy
and
I'm
sure
not
everyone's
happy,
and
this
is
positive
day.
So
you
need
to
be
happy,
but
but
it's
amazing
to
see
so
many
so
much
talents
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
working
in
basically
the
Copley
area
or
a
downtown
area,
and
so
thank
you
and
I
know
that
many
of
you,
if
I
give
you
see
a
show
of
hands
how
many
of
you
are
not
from
Massachusetts.
B
Originally
yeah
see
how
many
of
you
not
from
Boston,
not
Boston
Massachusetts,
originally
how
many
from
Boston
you're
like
three
people
from
Boston,
okay,
we'll
work
on
that
that
is,
and
I'm
going
off-script
I'll
come
back
to
the
question.
A
second,
my
focus
when
I
became
here
in
2014
was
exactly
the
response
to
the
first
question:
keeping
young
people
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
B
What
was
happening
is
what's
happened
in
the
past,
as
people
get
educated
here
they
had
a
good
time
going
to
college
here,
and
then
they
go
to
New
York,
Silicon
Valley
or
wherever
you
went,
and
now
Boston
is
a
real
option.
I'll
come
back
to
that
later.
I
think
that
the
challenges
you
have
as
an
individual
shape
you
as
you
grow
older,
and
it's
what
you
do
with
those
challenges
as
a
human
being
on
how
you
respond
to
them.
B
So,
for
example,
I
cancer
at
the
age
of
seven
Burkitt's,
lymphoma,
I,
was
told
I
wasn't
told
then,
as
to
I
found
out
later
that
I
probably
should
have
died.
The
success
rate
of
chemo
radiation
at
the
time
was
30%.
It's
like
95%
today,
I
didn't
really
think
of
it
as
7
year
old.
You
don't
really
thinking
about
dying.
You
just
know
you
sick
and
figuring
out.
B
You
want
to
go
play
with
your
friends
and
stuff
like
that
and
do
a
lot
of
that
stuff,
but
as
they
got
older,
I
realized
what
I
had
in
the
strength,
immunity,
human
being
getting
into
recovery.
You
know
being
loved
drinking
Libya,
love,
booze
loves
it
all
love
the
feeling,
but
somewhere
along
the
line
that
feeling
of
loving
it
turned
into
almost
having
to
have
it
to
drown
that
emotion
to
drown
those
feelings.
Alcohol
is
a
depressant.
B
So
when
you,
when
you're
in
a
better
space,
whether
it's
a
breakup
or
you,
think
your
life
is
awful
and
you're
not
going
in
a
good
way
and
you're
drinking,
it's
not
gonna
make.
It
feel
good
that
initial
first
four
or
five
six
beers.
If
you
drink
that
many
that
buzz,
you
feel
good
on
it.
But
then
the
buzz
goes
away
and
you
start
to
get
the
press
again
so
alcoholism.
For
me,
it
was,
it
was
kind
of
you
know
at
first
it
was
fun
drinking.
B
Then
it
wasn't
so
much
fun
anymore
and
then
towards
the
end.
It
was
like
disaster
blackouts,
not
knowing.
What's
going
on
ruining
relationships,
ruining
everything
going
on
in
going
into
recovery,
I
thought
when
I
went
to
recovery,
my
first
night
in
detox
I
went
in
there
and
I
didn't
go
there.
I
really
stopped
drinking.
I
went
there
to
get
the
heat
off
me.
Cuz,
you
know
people
were
mad
at
me
and
everyone's
upset
with
me
and
I
went
into
the
first
night.
I
was
in
there.
B
A
group
came
in
Alcoholics,
Anonymous
group
I
think
he
told
this
story
and
one
guy
spoke
I.
Don't
know
he
said
forget
what
he
said
now,
but
I
was
like.
Oh
wait.
A
second
in
my
head.
I
gotta
really
pay
attention
to.
What's
going
on
here
and
I
grew
up.
A
Catholic
I
went
to
church
every
Sunday
as
an
altar
boy,
all
that
stuff,
but
I
never
really
had
a
relationship.
So
my
counsel
suggested
I
go
in
and
say
a
prayer
to
somebody.
B
Anybody
grandparent
somebody
just
I
get
down
on
my
knees
and
for
the
first
time
I
got
honest
with
myself
and
I
asked
I
asked
a
Power
greater
than
myself
to
help
me
help
me
with
something
and
the
rest
of
the
week.
I
was
in
detox,
I
I,
listened
I,
listened
to
what
was
said.
I
took
the
suggestions.
I
took
I
learned
about
yet
yet
for
me
is
drugs
and
I
didn't
do
drugs
and
pop
oxycontin
I
didn't
shoot
heroin.
B
I
didn't
smoke,
weed
I
didn't
do
coke
I
didn't
smoke
crack,
but
I
know
if
I
kept
drinking
that
that
could
be
next
and
I
got
out
of
there
and
I
started
so
I
started
to
work
the
program
of
Alcoholics
Anonymous
and
which
long
behold,
life
got
better
day
at
a
time,
I
was
able
to
go
back
and
apologize
to
the
people.
I
hurt
something
that
takes
burden
off
your
chest.
B
Many
of
us
here
that
you
pills
you
down,
alcoholics,
you
ever
fight
somebody
and
you
might
have
felt
something
in
college
and
you
still
didn't
talk
to
them
since
college
because
they
pissed
you
off
because
something
happened
and
meanwhile
that's
wearing
on
you
more
than
it
is
on
them
and
you're
like
I'm,
really
pissed
about
it
and
you
you
know
thirty,
it's
really
he'll
be
talking.
My
roommate
was
awful
and
it
really
it's
both
not
necessary
forgiveness,
but
just
getting
off
your
chest,
and
that
was
part
of
part
of
the
program.
B
I
think
it's
helped
me
be
a
person
that
that
I
got
into
politics
a
year
and
a
half
after
I
got
sober.
I
ran
for
State,
Representative
and
and
I
won,
and
I
was
fortunate
enough
to
to
get
in
the
business
I
wanted
to
help
people.
That's
that's
why
I
got
in
this?
That's
why
I'm
in
this
business
I
want
to
help
you
but
I
love,
helping
people,
I
love,
helping
disadvantaged
people,
I
love,
sticking
up
for
people
that
are
being
picked
on
I,
just
love
it.
It's
just
like
one
of
those
things.
B
I
had
a
chance
as
a
state
representatives
to
to
take
some
very,
very
controversial,
difficult
votes
in
death
penalty
in
2009.
Ninety
seven,
when
I
became
the
state
rep,
there
was
a
big
ballot
bill,
whether
I
bring
the
death
penalty
legal
in
Massachusetts,
and
you
know
for
the
first
time,
I
really
had
an
issue
that
I,
really
it
was
life
and
death
that
I
was
on
it
could
have
been
on,
came
down
to
one
vote.
I
could
have
voted
for
the
death
penalty.
B
I
did
a
lot
today
and
it
made
me
really
think
it
kind
of
my
first
big
grown-up
moment.
Although
there
was
plenty
of
growing
up
moments,
it
was
my
big
for
his
growing
up
moment
when
marriage
equality
came
around
2004.
It
really
wasn't
that
popular
in
my
district.
It
was
really
wasn't
that
popular
and
I.
You
know
when
the
Supreme
Court
of
Massachusetts
said
that
gay
marriage
is
legal.
A
friend
of
mine
was
a
state
Rep
reached
out
to
me.
She
was
gauged
I
need
your
support.
B
I
need
a
white
Irish,
Catholic
straight
guy
to
help
me
and
and
I
said
to
myself.
Why
would
I
not
support
gay
marriage?
It
doesn't
personally
affect
me,
but
it
affects
tens
of
thousands
of
people
if
in
millions
around
the
country,
but
we're
dale
Massachusetts.
So
my
point,
I
guess
the
qualities
I
don't
know
not
only
talking
about
callers
I
have
but
I
love,
helping
people,
I
love,
sticking
up
for
people,
I
love,
making
life
better
for
people
all
of
those
things
that
made
me
the
person
I
am
today.
B
Some
of
it
came
out
of
a
negative
experience
and
all
its
National
positivity
Day,
but
you
take
a
negative
experience
or
you
take
a
tough
challenge
and
you
turn
it
into
action
into
a
positive
manner
and
I.
Think
that
that's
something
that's
really
important.
I
think
for
all
of
you
here
today
is
a
lot
of
young
people
in
the
room.
B
I
think
you
know
I'm
not
telling
you
what
you
need
to
do:
you're
you're,
probably
that
the
smartest
generation
that
we
have
had
on
this
earth
ever
but
I
also
think
that
there's
some
of
the
stuff
that's
come.
It's
come
in
different
ways
and
I
think
you
have
to
go
back
to
the
grassroots
in
some
ways.
I
mean
I,
know
they're
the
slot
phones
and
all
the
information
is
right.
B
There
your
hand,
but
as
I
look
around
the
room
as
I
walked
through
and
I
saw
the
books
on
the
shelf
don't
be
afraid
to
take
a
book
off
the
shelf
on
Swallow
reading,
don't
be
afraid
to
ask
questions,
don't
be
afraid
to
talk
to
people
who
came
before
you
and
talk
about.
What's
going
on,
don't
be
afraid
to
get
back
and
don't
be
afraid.
A
friend
of
mine
told
me
that
he's
a
court
officer,
he
was
a
former
code
officer
Italian
two
of
the
most
powerful
words
in
the
American
in
the
dictionary
is
I'm.
B
Sorry
think
about
that
for
a
minute,
I'm,
sorry,
and
what
that
means
is
we
all
heard
each
other
all
the
time,
and
sometimes
it
takes
the
bigger
person
to
apologize
and
it
that
that
those
words
I'm
sorry
it
might
not
help
the
person
you're
saying
to,
but
for
you
and
for
me
it
lifts
off.
Something
are
out
of
my
out
of
my
my
soul,
I
guess
or
whatever
it
is,
that
I
feel
better
cool.
A
That's
very
good,
thank
you
for
sharing
that.
Thank
you
for
sharing
that
story.
Let's
turn
a
little
bit
to
that,
the
City
of
Austin
and
David
you
weren't
born
here,
you
did
come
here.
You
have
stayed
here
and
people
know
a
lot
about
you,
but
I'm
not
sure
they
know
that
the
reasons
of
hey.
Why
have
you
come?
C
Yeah
I
wasn't
born
here.
I
was
born
in
the
Bronx
New
York
and
then
grew
up
in
Queens,
and
then
you
know,
came
the
Boston
on
many
of.
Like
many
adventures,
start
I.
Think
all
the
ventures
start
for
the
same
reason
right
I
did
this
big
adventure
is
whether
it's
discovering
countries
or
sailing
across
the
seas.
C
It's
because
you
followed
a
woman
right,
and
so
this
woman
happened
to
be
an
Irish
Catholic
girl
who
grew
up
here,
and
so
she
wanted
to
move
back
and
that's
how
I
got
to
Boston
and
the
first
day
that
I
was
in
Boston
was
the
day
that
I
moved
here.
I
had
never
been
to
the
city,
because
I
thought
I
was
going
to
move
in
six
months,
10
New
York.
Well,
she
knew
what
you
needed.
Yeah.
C
And
so
I
came
here,
and
the
thing
that
stood
out
to
me
was
a
bunch
of
things.
It
was.
It
was
a
pretty
different
time.
You
know
it
was
almost
20
years
ago
now,
so
the
city
was
pretty
different
than
it
is
today
and
but
things
that
stood
out
to
me
were
obviously
quality
of
life
community.
From
a
technology
standpoint
it
was,
there
was
a
better
environment
than
I
was
in
in
New
York
at
the
time
and
New
York
City
in
Manhattan,
and
so
like
the
universities,
the
vibrancy.
A
A
C
A
Was
the
mayor
of
my
house
I
would
never
leave
my
house
to
be.
You
know
that's
right
so,
but
but
when
you
think
about
Boston
and
and
you
know,
you're
in
an
elevator
and
and
and
somebody
says
away
from
I'm
the
mayor
of
Boston
and
somebody
looks
at
you
I,
we
have
sales
guys
that
look
outside
lattice,
sometimes
with
their
heads
square,
like
they
don't
we're
talking
about.
But
it's
only
said.
I
never
heard
of
Boston
like
how
do
you
describe
the
city?
I
grew.
B
Up
here
my
mother
and
father
from
Ireland,
so
I'm
a
son
of
immigrants,
they
came
here
in
the
50s
separately
they
met
here.
I
grew
up
in
Dorchester,
which
is
a
everyone
knows
it.
Polly
Boston
went
to
grammar
school
kindergarten,
a
public
school
grammar
school
at
Cal,
school
new
high
school,
which
is
on
my
bro
street.
The
the
name
at
the
prep
was
it.
It
was
a
prep
school,
but
not
like
the
type
of
promo.
So
you
went
to
I
went
to
I
was
horrible
student
once
at
Quincy
College
after
that
did
notice.
B
I
could
do
actually
the
work
transfer
to
Suffolk
University
quit
school
because
I
won
the
work
construction
and
make
money.
I
wanted
to
be
successful
eventually
in
the
universe's
stories
we
can
get
into
it
later.
How
do
I
describe
Boston?
Boston
is
a
city
of
neighborhoods.
It's
still
a
city
neighborhoods.
When
I
grew
up.
It
was
a
very
different
neighborhood.
Still
anyone
lived
in
Charlestown
all
right.
Well,
the
chaunce
town
you
live
in
today
is
completely
different
than
shops
under
one
study
years
ago.
Anyone
living
in
Southie
all
right.
B
You
know
so
I've
watched
Boston
transition
in
Boston
has
been
a
city
that
is
transitions,
its
whole
life.
If
you
will
immigrants
and
different
immigrants
in
different
waves
from
different
places,
different
power
structures,
the
Brahmins
and
the
any
Keys
and
the
Irish,
the
Italians,
and
and
now
we
have
a
lot
of
people
of
color
moving
into
the
areas
of
power.
B
If
you
will
in
the
political
spectrum
in
the
business
world,
Boston's,
identity,
I
think
in
a
lot
of
ways
was,
it
was
a
strong
business
community
beause
somewhat
of
a
back
office
town
we
did
have
some.
You
know
we
kind
of
took
credit
for
like
Bank
of
Bank
of
America,
which
was
in
Beck
America.
It
was
Bank
Boston
at
one
point,
and
then
it
became
Bay,
Bank
I
thinking
bit
Bank
of
America
it
transitioned
Liberty,
Mutual,
John,
Hancock
Tower,
that's
kind
of
a
pride
of
it.
B
B
50%
of
the
residents
of
our
city
are
people
of
color
52%
of
the
residents.
The
households
in
our
city
are
led
by
women.
I
would
talk
about
the
strength
of
our
diversity.
I
would
talk
about
the
strength
of
our
universities
and
the
ability
to
to
attract
people
to
city
I.
Think
that
that's
important
I
would
talk
about
the
importance
of
the
companies
that
are
here
today,
but
not
forget.
B
The
companies
that
have
been
here
for
50
years
that
have
been
the
foundation
for
the
company
above
the
city
I,
would
talk
about
the
diversity
of
the
city.
The
common
theme
is
the
diversity
when
you
think
about
Boston,
I,
think
about
diversity
and
whatever,
whatever
asked,
whether
it's
business,
whether
its
deck
well,
there's
hospitals,
whether
it's,
whether
it's
the
the
the
you
know,
insurance
companies,
the
financials
world
I,
which
talk
about
the
diversity
of
the
city
of
Boston,
that's
kind
of
how
I
talk
about
it.
B
I
would
talk
about
to
you,
know
the
uniqueness
of
the
neighborhoods
and
how
different
they
are
and
the
ability
to
get
around
the
city
fairly
quickly
that
you
can
go
to
East
Boston
live
in
East
Boston
and
you
can
be
on
the
waterfront.
If
you
choose
or
you
can
live
in,
you
know
maverick
Square
we're
two
blocks
in
the
waterfront,
but
you
live
in
a
community
or
you
can
get
it
on
a
train
and
go
across
the
city
to
Dorchester
and
see
something
very
different.
B
I
think
that
that's
kind
of
how
I
would
try
and
sell
Boston
when
the
company
comes
to
Boston
and
and
they
were
in
my
office
or
I'm,
going
to
them
whether
it's
a
company
or
retailer.
Well,
let
me
do
so
every
year,
there's
this
big
convention
in
Vegas,
that
is,
these
companies,
basically
retail
shops,
they're,
fancy,
tea
shops
and
fancy
coffee
shops
and
fancy
ice-cream
shops,
apples
there
and
all
the
big
shops
are
there.
B
Some
golf
shops
I
go
there
when
I
talk
about
Boston
and
I,
say:
okay,
this
your
your
idea
of
a
unique
green
type
of
tea
coffee
program
could
work
in
and
then
talk
about
a
specific
area,
give
an
explanation
of
the
area
to
find
the
area
for
them
and
talk
about
the
opportunities
they
have
and
generally
it
always
comes
back
to
the
young.
People
comes
back
to
talent.
It
comes
back
to
the
talent
we
have
because
you're
curious,
you're,
curious,
my
generation
when
I
was
25
years
old.
B
B
B
A
Let's
talk
about
economic
development.
You
touched
on
a
little
bit
the
the
the
one
thing
I've
been
in
tech
industry
2530
years
here,
mainly
based
in
Boston.
The
one
thing
that
has
been
frustrating
for
for
me
or
for
the
industry
is
that
we've
lost
some
big
ones
right
and,
and
you
know,
if
Zuckerberg
was
at
Facebook,
it
was
at
Harvard
when
he
invented
Facebook
right.
A
If,
if
he
had
done
Facebook
in
the
city,
I
think
this
city
would
be
not
completely
different,
but
a
lot
different
right
and
and
there'd
be
a
lot
of
we've
created
great
opportunities,
but
I
think
there'd
be
even
more
economic
opportunity
in
the
city
and
we
lost
other
things
like
like
Elias
and
David
know
the
guys
from
Dropbox
right.
There
were
two
MIT
and
one
out
there
right.
We've
seen
West
Coast
companies
come
in
and
by
East
Coast
companies
right
and
you
know,
East
Coast,
venture
or
East
Coast.
A
B
That
invested
in
everything,
from
uber,
to
lift
to
everything
and
and
I
said,
give
me
the
layout
of
the
area
VC
spending
and
how
it
works,
and
basically,
what
they
said
was
the
VC
spending
in
Massachusetts
and
in
Boston
we
pay,
we
give
money
to
companies
to
startup
and
we
let
them
go
wherever
they
want,
but
the
VC
spending
in
California
in
Silicon
Valley,
the
money's
given
out
in
Silicon
Valley
and
you're,
expected
to
stay
in
Silicon,
Valley
and
I
said
well.
How
do
we
change
that
image
and
I'd
say
they
started
talking
about?
B
How
do
we
keep
their
response?
Was
we
had
to
attract
talent
here?
We
have
to
think
about
keeping
young
people
here
and
we
really
have
to
create
Nick
ecosystem
in
the
city
of
Boston
that
works
for
four
companies
and
I
left
the
air
seriously
and
my
at
the
time
my
chief
of
staff
was
27
years
old
to
Enco
and-
and
it's
not
talking
about
it
because
I'm
like
tender
millennial,
you
have
ideas.
What
do
you
think
and
we
started
talking
about?
B
What
can
we
do
for
the
perception
of
Boston
because
a
lot
of
it,
for
you
is
perception
it
turns
into
reality
when
you
leave
it,
but
a
perception,
Boston's,
cool,
Boston's,
fun,
great
restaurants,
great
scene,
we
like
it,
he
is
safe.
You
can
walk
around,
so
we
thought
about
how
do
we
use
this
an
opportunity
to
market
more
opportunities
to
keep
young
people
here
and
attract
companies
here
and
in
since
that
time?
B
I
don't
have
the
exact
number
on
VC
spending,
but
I
can
tell
you
VC
spending
for
women
companies
is
a
huge
success,
because
the
money
saying
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
women
sign
up
companies
are
coming
here.
Investing
here
signing
here.
We
work
comes
in
our
front
door.
We
set
time
what
we
work.
Expanding
in
Boston
opened
up
a
space
for
them
a
makerspace.
B
B
What's
that
rule
all
about,
and
it
was
no
reason
for
it
and
we
just
made
it
simple
change
now
you
didn't
feel-
and
you
don't
see
it-
you
don't
even
know
what
it's
like,
but
five
years
ago,
if
you
drank
outside
you'd,
have
to
eat
food,
it
just
doesn't
make
sense
to
me
again.
It's
just
things.
Little
little
subtle
changes
that
you
the
approaches
that
you
make
here
to
attract
people.
B
B
But
when
we
went
down
in
Redwood
California
we
were
presenting
to
the
United
States
Olympic
Committee,
and
then,
after
that
we
had
like
four
hours
of
free
time
before
they
made
a
decision
in
tan
call,
my
chief
of
samplers
and
I'm
like
what
should
we
do
and
he
says,
let's
go
to
Facebook
I'm
like
let's
go,
we
jump
on
the
canal,
we're
over
Facebook
knocked
on
the
door
is
Mike
home
who's,
asking
the
mayor
of
Boston
and
tanco
chief
of
staff,
but
we
saw
the
third
person
align.
He
wasn't
he
wasn't
available.
B
The
importance
of
seeing
companies
like
that
grow
and
expand
in
the
city,
because
there's
such
a
large
employer
and
I
do
that
all
the
time
when
I
go
to
different
places,
to
talk
to
people
saying
if
you're
looking
to
expand
companies
that
might
have
been
here
or
someplace,
we
wanted
to
expand
to
this.
This
to
our
place,
I
was
out
in
I,
was
out
in
Seattle
and
I
was
at
a
startup
out
there
and
their
headquarters
in
Seattle
I.
B
He
at
the
time
happened
to
be
from
Ireland,
so
we
had
a
great
connection
and
I
said
well,
if
you
guys
ever
like
looking
to
expand
I
want
you
to
come
through
the
city
of
Boston,
please,
like
look
me
up
a
year
and
a
half
later
I'm
in
my
office,
I
walk
in
I,
see
on
the
book
GE
looking
to
leave
Connecticut
what
I
do
I
called
the
guy.
He
wasn't
no
longer
there
I
call
the
person
I
knew
and
say
we're
interested
in
she
come
at
the
Boston.
We
dead
serious
about
it.
B
B
Now
and
however
many
more
you
know
you're
here,
so
it's
so
important,
so
I
guess
the
the
thing
that's
important
is
is
how
do
you
just
like
all
of
you
when
you
pick
up
a
sweat
shirt
that
has
drift
on
it
and
you
go
out
and
you
walk
through
the
streets
of
Boston
on
it.
People
don't
know
what
something
most
people.
What
what's
drift?
You
have
an
opportunity
to
market
your
company.
You
know
opportunity
to
market
the
work
that
you
do
as
an
individual.
B
A
Nice
David
fallin
on
that
right
that
the
government,
the
city
and
the
state
can
only
do
so.
Many
things
right
and,
and
one
of
the
I
think
cool
things
about
San
Francisco
is
there's
an
infrastructure
there
and
the
infrastructure,
our
guys
and
and
and
gals
that
are
CEOs
like
you
and
founders
like
you
and
oh
yes,
right
what?
What?
A
What
do
you
see
as
opportunity
with
regards
to
build
that
infrastructure,
because
there's
a
bit
of
a
community
around
that
of
how
you
can
help
one
another
out
right
and
and
what
is
what
are
some
of
the
venture
guys
doing?
And
what
are
some
of
you
guys
doing
as
executives
and
founders
to
help
to
help
drive
that
sure.
C
I
think
you
know
I
would
say
that
I've
been
trying
to
answer
this
question,
probably
the
last
decade.
You
know
since,
like
the
from
mostly
from
the
venture
side,
people
invent
or
side
asking
me
but
I
agree
with
the
mayor.
A
lot
I
think
you
know
the
the
Boston
of
10
years
ago,
very
different
place,
Boston
five
years
very
different
place,
and
a
lot
of
what
we
need
to
do
is
actually
from
the
infrastructure.
C
Standpoint
is
pretty
simple:
it's
marketing
which,
to
your
point
and
I,
think
some
of
the
stuff
that
you've
been
doing
on
livability,
which
I
think
those
small
subtle
changes
we
don't
think
about.
We
want
these
big
paradigm
changes
and
it's
so
small
things
like
you
know
five
years
ago,
they're,
you
know
you'd
be
wondering.
Where
do
you
hang
out
here?
Where
do
you
go?
Where
are
their
people?
Where
can
I
find
action
five
years
ago?
C
The
Seaport
didn't
exist,
right
literally,
didn't
exist,
I
mean
I,
just
remember
trucks
being
there
for
most
of
my
time,
you
go
there.
Now,
it's
vibrant
and
all
the
work
that
you've
been
doing
there.
It's
vibrant!
It's
happening.
People
come
in
from
out
of
town
and
see
that
they
say
this
is
a
happening
place
or
even
small
things
like
you
know,
outside
patio,
how
come
I
can't
buy
beer
on
Sunday,
like
all
these
small
things
like
we're
on
you,
as
a
person
coming
in
here,
I
know
when
I
moved
to
Boston.
C
It
was
all
of
these
small
little
rules
that
didn't
exist
in
New
York.
That
I
didn't
understand
and
is,
if
you're
coming
here
as
a
22
year
old
23
year
old,
these
things
kind
of
wear
on
you
right,
you
didn't
grow
up
with
these
things,
so
I
think
there's
small
things
that
we
can
do
like
that.
Marketing
is
the
number
one
thing,
and
so
I
spend
time
at
in
Cambridge
and
HBS
kind
of
helping
on
that
end
and
then
at
Sloan
as
well,
because
I
think
those
two
schools
are
powerhouses.
C
We
have
many
more
schools,
but
those
are
the
ones
that
I
spend
time
at
and
I
think
they're,
probably
super
lousy,
which
I
tell
them
at
marketing
right,
they're,
not
as
good
as
marketing
from
a
marketing
standpoint
at
Stanford
is
in
in
San
Francisco.
A
lot
of
things
that
have
happened
in
Silicon
Valley
have
to
do
with
a
lot
of
the
marketing
that
Stanford
and
the
business
school
has
done.
C
There,
we've
been
poor
at
kind
of
trumpeting
our
own
work
here
and
I
like
the
work
that
the
city
is
doing
and
that
Mayor
Walsh
is
doing
now
to
actually
mark
it
right.
I
think
that
was
like
a
dirty
word,
probably
like
five
ten
years
ago
in
Boston
that
wasn't
a
Boston
trade
actually
pump
our
chests,
but
we've
learned
a
lot
of
Super
Bowls
and
a
lot
of
rings
now
and
so
I
think
we
can.
You
know,
pump
our
chests
I
like.
B
I
was
thinking
about
the
way
that
they
trained
somebody
and
to
think
differently
and
think
critically
and
really
do
some
amazing
things
so
I
suppose
they
asked
I
asked
the
Dean.
Can
you
find
out
for
me
what
percentage
of
H
HBS
grad
stay
in
Boston,
and
so
we
did
5%
so
well
back
to
the
office
I'm
saying
that
the
enco
wheel
at
95
percent
of
some
of
the
best
and
brightest
talented
people
come
to
our
city
or
harm
the
next
row
in
Cambridge?
B
Well,
they
actually
it's
in
Boston
and
leave,
and
how
can
we
do
a
better
job
of
keeping
that
base
of
brain
power
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
I?
Think
the
colleges
that
you
all
go
to
that
once
you
here
in
Boston
or
you
came
here
to
college
and
stayed
there
doing
a
better
job
and
companies
are
starting
to
realize.
Now
we
should
go
to
Northeast
and
we
should
go
to
Boston
College
we
go
to
be.
B
You
should
go
to
have
it
and
try
and
recruit
people
here,
but
some
of
the
higher
level
education,
stuff
isn't
necessarily
happening
still
not
happening
and
whether
that's
a
marketing
thing
on
HBS's
point
on
my
point.
We
have
to
do
more
of
that
because
again,
there's
so
many
bright
people
in
the
world
that
we
have
to
try
and
keep
here
in
the
city
and.
C
I
think
a
lot
of
it
that
I
see
you
know
on
the
campuses
is
marketing,
because
I
talked
to
them
about
I'm,
talking
about
options
and
where
they
should
go
and
they're
talked
about
companies.
I
mentioned
local
companies
and
they're
like
what's
that
I
didn't
know
where's
that
I
didn't
know.
That
was
here
right
and
those
are
companies
that
are
here,
but
for
a
long
time,
probably
last
20
years,
those
companies
outside
of
Boston
done
a
better
job
of
marketing
those
students
than
we
have
right.
No.
B
Question
about
it
and
again
it's
it's
such
an
all
book
government.
That's
about
work!
That's
a
collaboration
with
business
and
I
shouldn't
be
out
there
marketing
possible
by
itself.
I
need
to
get
CEOs
and
investors
and
people
say
well.
Boston
is
an
option
and
I
think
today,
we're
probably
in
a
better
position
than
we've
ever
been
to
really
have
this
good,
strong
foundation
about
moving
forward
great
great.
A
Let's
talk
about,
you
talked
on
it
earlier
culture
and
diversity
right,
it's
a
big
focus
of
us
in
the
company
I
think
drift
is
very
unique
in
that
both
the
two
founders,
David
and
and
alia,
soleus
actually
dress
up.
Today,
usually
he
wears
these
cutoff
jeans
and
South
led,
but
today
today
he
today
he's
dressed
up
not
for
me,
it
must
be
for
you,
mister
man,.
A
We
want
to
be
the
most
diverse
company
in
the
city
of
us
and
we
we
just
hired
Dean
erupt
and
runs,
runs
our
people
organizations
she
just
hired.
A
director
of
diversity
and
inclusion
were
were
got
all
sorts
of
internal
efforts
going
on
to
do
that.
What
are
some
of
the
things
that
the
city
is
doing?
You
alluded
to
them
earlier,
but
some
of
the
things
the
city
is
doing
to
help
that
that
inner
city
get
into
the
tech
industry
I
think.
B
First
of
all,
talk
about
who
we
are
as
a
city
and
about
our
identity
and
don't
run
away
from
it
and
I
mean
by
that
is
when
I
talk
about
when
I
give
you
the
breakdown
of
the
city
of
Boston.
It's
a
true
breakdown.
We
have
700,000
people
that
live
in
Boston
Proper,
28%
foreign-born,
50%,
people
of
color
52%
households
led
by
women,
which
means
that
the
impact,
the
economic
impacts
of
a
vital
to
having
success
in
the
different
demographic
areas
I
just
talked
about.
B
We
have
we
very
focus
on
pay
equity
for
women,
not
just
talking
about
it.
In
fact,
legislation
you
know,
I,
remember,
97,
voting
on
a
piece
of
legislation,
some
of
you
probably
weren't,
even
born
then
or
you're
in
first
grade
and
and
we're
fighting
about
pay
equity.
97.
We
passed
legislation,
that's
gonna
solve
it,
and
here
we
got
fast
forward.
B
22
years
later,
woody
20
years
later
and
a
white
woman
gets
paid,
I
think
71
cents
on
the
dollar,
a
man,
white
man,
a
black
woman,
gets
paid
63
cents
to
the
dollar,
to
a
white
man
and
a
Latina
woman
gets
paid
51
cents
on
the
dollar
to
a
man,
I
mean
so
we're
not
there.
Yet.
So
we
working
with
companies
like
drift
and
thank
you
for
signing
on
to
the
talent
compact,
getting
theater
anonymously
from
companies
260
or
50
companies,
50
or
60
companies.
B
Looking
at
those
different
areas
creating
opportunities,
one
thing
that
all
of
you
can
do
in
this
room:
it
might
not
help
drift
today,
but
10
15
years
now
is
mentor.
A
young
person
find
the
young
person,
the
City
of
Boston
that
needs
mentorship
and
explain
to
them
and
help
them
through
that.
I
think
that
those
those
are
key,
important
things
that
you
can
do
and
take
your
some
of
your
free
time.
B
As
a
woman,
you
know
she
worked
away
to
the
company
did
an
incredible
job,
but
I'm
sure
they
said
was
it's
time.
It's
time
and
I
think
that
a
lot
of
those
different
places
a
lot
of
those
different
things
we
have
to
do.
We
have
to
continue
to
move
you
look
at
if
you
read
the
paper,
you
listen
to
the
guys
in
the
white
house,
I
mean
the
message.
B
It's
great
when
you
have
a
when
you
have
the
the
heads
of
a
company
willing
to
have
them
that
mission,
but
spread
that
mission
to
other
companies.
You
are
the
ambassador's
not
just
of
this
of
this,
of
this
company,
of
the
ambassador's
of
talking
about
diversity
and
inclusion
and
when
you're
out
at
a
bar,
and
you
pump
into
somebody
that
work
said
you
know
wherever
they
work
at
you
talk
about
what
the
philosophy
of
your
company
is
so
they'll.
B
Take
that
back
to
their
company
and
say
you
know,
I
was
at
a
bar
the
other
night
we're
talking
with
people
over
at
rift.
This
is
what
they're
doing
over
there.
We
should
be
thinking
about
this
too,
and
now
we're
getting
now
getting
more
more
people
in
the
conversation
you
can't
run
away
from
it
when
we
it
one
of
the
most
difficult
conversations
to
have
is
about
racism
and
when
I
became
the
man
so
conversation
I
had
more
and
more
of
and
when
I
was
running
from
here,
I
would
talk
about.
B
Racism
is
like
you
know,
we'll
work
on
our
racism
in
the
city
of
Boston.
We
want
to.
We
want
to
make
sure
there's
no
racism
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
you
know
we
just
kind
of
soften,
because
we
don't
know
how
to
talk
about
the
issue.
It's
important
to
talk
about
the
issue,
because
it's
a
positive
thing
to
talk
about
it,
you're
talking
about
a
negative
pass
but
you're
talking
about
making
a
positive
future.
If
you
will
go.
A
David
a
little
bit,
let's
follow
on
on
that
on
the
topic
of
diversity
and
culture,
I,
you
and
Elise
are
doing
a
lot
of
stuff
right
and
when
we're
trying
to
do
a
lot
of
stuff
as
an
individual
company
right,
we
participate.
Indeed,
the
team
build
lack
diversity,
we're
in
the
mayor's
city
program
summer
kids
program,
but
but
how
can
we
as
a
company?
Maybe
it's
some
of
the
things
that
mayor
talked
about
but
engage
those
other
tech
companies,
because
it's
it's
it's
almost.
We
can't
win
that
battle
by
ourselves
right.
A
C
It's
we
Elias
and
I
really
focus
on
and
as
a
company,
we
are
really
two
areas
which
is,
you
know,
helping
underrepresented
minorities,
which
we
are
both
of
and
then
helping
single
mothers,
which
we
were
both
raised
by
single
mothers.
So
those
are
two
things
that
I
know
not
only
professionally
important
but
personally
important
to
us,
and
we
started
from
the
very
from
early
on
this
idea
of
this
drift
foundation,
where
we're
gonna
pour
our
energy
into
those
areas
and
specifically
into
taking
an
approach.
C
That
is
a
generational
approach,
because
this,
as
you
mentioned,
is
not
a
simple
thing.
This
is
not
a
hashtag.
This
is
not
a
quick
fix
kind
of
thing.
This
is
going
to
take
a
generation,
a
multi,
multiple
generation.
So
we
invest
mostly
in
kids
right
in
both
of
those
areas,
kids,
who
are
being
raised
by
single
moms
or
kids,
who
are
underrepresented,
minorities
to
bring
them
to
stem
in
tech
and
whether
it's
in
elementary
school
junior,
high
high
school
versus
just
focusing
on.
C
You
know,
college
and
people
just
about
to
graduate,
because
those
people
are
already
self
selected
into
those
programs
by
then
you
really
have
to
go
back
to
the
earlier
and
younger
people.
And
you
know
that's
that's
a
big
mission
and
hard
to
sell,
because
everyone
wants
a
quick
fix,
but
we
need
to
take
this
kind
of
generational
approach.
I
also.
A
Think,
mr.
mayor,
that
that
the
way
the
city
has
changed
over
even
the
last
five
or
six
years
creates
more
of
an
opportunity
for
companies
to
do
that,
because
I
think
the
the
last
company
I
was
at
our
door.
Chorus
was
out
in
in
Woburn
Massachusetts
and
we
were
all
so
big
into
the.
How
do
we
create
a
diverse
population
here
and-
and
we
had
an
idea
of
okay-
you
know,
that's
that's!
Let's
get
a
bus
and
we're
in
an
industrial.
We
were
there
five
or
six
other
tech
companies
there.
A
We
were
in
the
mode
of
let's,
let's
pay,
rent
a
bus
for
summer.
Let's
have
somebody
drive
that
bus
pick
these
kids
up
in
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
drive
them
out
that
we
would
Massachusetts
to
get
them
into
the
tech
industry,
but
but
the
hurdles
in
which
to
do
that
like
we're
too
much
right
and
so
to
get
into
bur
BIA.
But
now
what's
happened
is
with
these
companies
coming
into
the
city
right.
B
You
also
find
the
kids
I
mean
you
know.
My
father
was
a
construction
worker.
I
was
a
construction
worker.
I
wanted
to
wear
a
suit
and
tie
and
get
business
cards.
I,
don't
know
what
that
meant,
but
I
knew
back.
Then
that's
what
I
wanted
to
do.
Obstacles
and
challenges
came
up
that
throw
me
off
the
path.
I
eventually
got
back
on
path.
B
I
got
the
office,
I
got
the
business
cards,
I
got
the
job,
I
wanted
to
do,
and,
and
it's
it's
almost
like
you
want
to
you,
you
need
to
experience
and
the
reason
why
one
that
I
saw
my
uncle
work
in
office.
I
saw
him
wear
a
tie.
I'm
like
oh
that's,
interesting
and
he
I
saw
him
representing
people
I'm,
like
oh
I
kind
of
like
that,
and
that
kind
of
gave
me
incentive
to
kind
of
push
myself
to
become
something
nothing
wrong
on
construction
workers,
they're
great
I
love
them.
B
They
build
these
buildings
and
they
knock
them
down.
They
build
them
back
up
again,
but
but
it's
like
it's
a
giving
people
an
experience,
there's
so
many
young
kids
in
in
urban
America
today
that
that
have
no
idea
what
tech
means
they
have
no
idea
what
startups
means
they
have
no
idea
what
an
opportunity
means.
B
How
do
we
expose
young
people
to
positive
situations,
how
we
expose
them
to
to
positive
experiences?
And
that's
why
I
think
it's
so
important
that
for
all
of
you,
some
of
you
most
of
you,
whoever
wants
to
mentor
young
people
and
give
them
the
opportunity,
because
some
kids
have
grown
up
in
generational
poverty.
You
know
and
it's
not
their
fault
and
it's
not
their
parents
fault
and
it's
not
their
grandparents
fault
and
it's
not
their
great-grandparents
fault.
It's
just
that!
That's
just
what's
happened
and
I
think
there
is
a
chance.
B
There
is
probably
somebody
in
this
room
that
can
go
back
and
say
you
know:
I
grew
up
in
generational
poverty.
My
grandmother
was
poor.
My
my
grandmother
was
poor.
My
great-grandma
was
poor,
but
now
I'm
here
I
have
a
real
opportunity
and
that's
just
by
getting
somebody
opening
the
door
a
little
bit
and
letting
somebody
to
experience
something.
That's
also
key
I.
C
Love
that
answer,
because
I
think
modeling,
is
so
important
right
being
able
to
see
this
and
see
this
happen.
So
many
people
that
I
talk
to
about,
including
myself
about
how
did
you
get
into
what
you're
doing
it
was
happenstance?
Just
like
that,
you
had
an
uncle.
You
had
a
job.
You
saw
someone
one
day
and
you're
like
oh.
What
is
that
I
can
do
that
right
now.
You
know
I
didn't
know
what
I
was
going
to
do.
I
knew
I
wanted
to
have
a
business
card.
C
B
D
A
About
you
may
have
seen
it
as
you
as
you
walked
around
here,
but
obvious
and
David
have
created
a
culture.
We
call
it
a
culture
of
learning
right
and-
and
you
see
it
in
the
books
around
here
and
the
strategy
is
look.
We
don't
have
to
invent
everything
that
there
are
a
lot
of
great
companies
that
have
gone
before
us
that
have
invented
things
right,
whether
it
be
M
is
on
whether
it
be
Walmart,
whether
it
be
home
depot
and
we
I
wouldn't
say
we
study
them,
but
we
emulate
them
in
some
ways.
A
B
As
a
leader
as
a
city,
you
always
have
to
learn
and
evolve
and
I
think
that
there's
not
one
city
that
I
look
at
and
say:
oh,
my
god,
I'd
love
everything
that
they're
doing
over
here.
You
take
bits
and
pieces
from
everywhere
and
you
in
you
incorporate
them
into
into
the
government.
You
incorporate
them
into
society,
even
as
an
individual
you
know,
I
was
I
was
watching
last
night,
a
clip
on
YouTube,
my
brother
sent
to
me
of
Lou
Holtz,
giving
a
speech
at
a
graduation
I,
don't
fit
anyone's.
B
And
I'm
thinking
like
I
gotta,
remember
every
single
word.
He
said
and
just
repeat
this
when
I
talk
to
them
well,
because
you're,
just
amazing
and
I
realized
that
I
can't
do
that.
But
what
I
can
do
is
take
bits
and
pieces
of
his
message
and
incorporate
the
first
of
all
in
my
life
that
I
believe
in
what
he's
saying
and
then
pass
that
message
along
to
someone
else
and
I
think
that
part
of
that
is
by
experiencing.
So,
for
example,
we
have
what's
called
the
US
Conference
of
Mayors
and
we
meet
twice
a
year.
B
Basically,
once
on
a
June
meeting
two
years
ago
was
in
Boston
this
year
unfortunately
was
a
horrible
place
we
had
to
have
the
meeting
was
in
Hawaii
and
and
we
go
to
DC
and
what
we
do
is
we
share
best
practices
and
we
talk
about
situations
so,
and
so,
when
I'm
watching
TV
and
I
see
riots
happening
in
Baltimore
and
I,
see
the
mayor
of
Baltimore
standing
at
a
podium
by
herself,
I
call
her
out
and
I
say
to
her.
You
need
to
put
some
people
around
you.
You
need
to
take
a
deep
breath.
B
You
need
to
get
ahead
of
the
situation
and
you
need
to
work
forward
and
how
did
I
know
that
I
knew
that
by
listening
to
somebody
else
telling
me
the
story
so
sometimes
I
offer
advice
for
other
cities
or
or
I'll
call
Michael
Nutter.
When
was
the
mayor
of
Philly
and
say,
listen
I'm,
dealing
with
some
issues
around
race
in
Boston
as
an
african-american
mayor
of
a
major
city.
Can
you
give
me
some
advice
on
maybe
how
to
handle
this
thing
on
complicated
issues
and
we
kind
of
so
we
share
best
practices.
B
If
you
will,
you
know,
I,
don't
think
you
know
you
don't
want
to
just
I,
don't
want
to
copy
one
city,
because
then
we
become
that
city
and
it's
like
who
you
want.
You
want
your
own
identity.
Just
like
your
company,
you
don't
want
to
say
everything.
Home
Depot
does
we're
gonna
do
because
it's
great
and
in
theaters
Home
Depot
and
you
want
to
be
drift
and
I
want
to
be
Boston
and
it's
important
for
us
to
think
about.
How
do
we?
How
to
improve
David.
C
It
is
similar
to
the
mayor,
its
kind
of
experience
or
age
you'll
teach
you
that
the
bits
and
pieces
are
there
right.
You
just
have
to
be
smart
enough
to
look
for
the
right
bits
and
pieces
and
assemble
them
and
I.
Think
too
early
in
life
you
get
I,
don't
know
for
me.
It
seemed
like
in
school,
I
was
taught
to
just
like
that.
That
would
be
cheating
right.
That
I
was
cheating
plagiarism,
that
you
didn't
want
a
copy
that
you
had
to
be
wholesale
original,
at
least
back
in
my
day
and
I.
C
Think
that's
a
poor
lesson
to
teach
right
like
the
patterns.
Are
there
because
there
are
human
patterns
right?
That's
why
they
repeat,
and
so
I'd
say
the
first
half
of
my
career
I
didn't
do
that.
I!
Didn't
look
for
the
bits
and
pieces.
I
learned
only
one
way
through
pain,
ache,
a
brute
force
right,
so
I
learned
everything
the
hard
way
myself
and
then
switched
over
time.
A
A
Myself
certainly
takes
that
dramatically
up
and
and
and
and
Paul
the
otter
over.
There
also
takes
that
up
dramatically,
but
but
other
than
that,
it's
a
very
young
population.
As
you
saw
it's
a
lot
of
people
that
live
in
the
city
too,
how
can
they
they're
they're
young
they're,
passionate
they're,
smart,
most
of
them
anyway?
How?
How
can
they
help?
How
can
they
help
you?
How
can
they
help
the
city?
How
can
they
help
you
guys
and
gals
accomplish
the?
What
what
you
guys
want
to
do?
First,.
B
Of
all,
we
happy
what
you
do
every
day.
Honestly,
you
want
to
love
and
be
passionate
about
your
job.
That's
number
one
I
think
that
that
working
for
a
company
or
working
for
governments,
if
you're
disgruntled,
are
not
happy,
then
you're
doing
yourself
a
disservice.
You're
not
helping
the
company,
I.
Think
number
one!
That's
one
thing,
I
do
number
two,
don't
be
afraid
to
don't
be
afraid
to
get
back.
What
does
that
mean?
That
means
get
involved
in
your
civic
association?
That
means
getting
involved
in
mentoring,
somebody
that
means
get
involved
in
something
just
just.
B
You
are
part
of
Boston's
fabric.
Now
now,
whether
or
not
you're
here
twenty-five
years
from
now,
you
might
be
some
of
you
might
be.
Somebody
might
not
be
but
be
part
of
this
community,
because
this
is
a
special
community
and
and
be
active
out.
There.
I
think
that
that's
that's
an
important
aspect
of
it.
You
know
if
this
is
completely
off
topic
a
little
bit,
but
if,
when
I
talked
about
being
alcoholic,
if
you're
out
here
and
you're
struggling
ask
them
to
ask
somebody
foul
just
don't,
because
what
happens
is
that'll?
B
Save
you
a
lot
of
pain
in
you
and
your
family.
If
you
don't
have
a
family,
your
future
family
down
the
road
just
reach
out
your
hand
and
talk
to
somebody
I
think
that's
important,
don't
be
afraid
to
say
I'm,
sorry
and
don't
be
afraid
to
and
don't
be
afraid
to
to
offer
help
to
people.
I
think
those
are
just
basically
some
it's
like
a
parent.
Now
I
don't
mean
to,
but
it
those
are
all
things
that
that
is
you're
old
enough
now
to
realize
it's
not
really
young
people.
B
What's
he
talking
about
you
know
what
I'm
talking
about
push
governments
vote,
get
active.
Having
voices
heard
you
know,
let
let
people
know
don't
don't
think
that
your
vote
doesn't
count.
Your
vote
absolutely
counts.
I!
Don't
know
many
people
register
to
vote
here.
If
you
want
to
raise
your
hand,
I
mean
register
to
vote
yeah,
okay
and
I'm,
not
gonna.
Ask
you
how
many
people
vote,
because
most
hands
won't
go
up
here
and
say
well.
I
voted
I
voted
against
Trump
in
2016
yeah.
Well,
that's
one
presidential
election,
there's
a
City
Council
race.
B
Now
you
need
to
get
active
in
society,
that's
important!
You
know
these
are
all
things
that
I
would
suggest
you
do
and
there's
so
much
more
I'd
suggest
you
do
I.
Just
think
to
just
be
honest
to
yourself:
I
am
I've
worked
for
the
laborers
Union
I
was
in
an
office
itit
I
on
I
made
a
good,
pretty
good
check
back
in
1996
after
I
got
sober
I
had
a
car
at
a
gas
card,
I
didn't
pay
for
my
insurance.
B
It
was
pretty
cool,
pretty
sweet
gig
at
the
time.
I
was
miserable
because
I
didn't
want
to
be
there.
Cuz
I
want
I
wanted
to
do
something.
Different
I
wanted
to
do
something
else.
Fulfilling
to
me
when
I
wouldn't
win
the
state
representative
who's
in
my
area
decided
not
to
run
again.
It
was
October
of
96,
I
went
home,
told
him
on
our
Father
sent
mana
for
state
representative.
My
father
was
very
happy
that
I
had
a
good
job
and
consistent
job
and
pension.
All
this
stuff,
he
said,
I
think
you're,
making
a
mistake.
B
B
But
you
know
some
I'd
be
miserable.
I
wanted
to
be
mayor,
so
I
ran
for
mayor
and
I.
Think
that
you
follow.
What's
in
your
heart,
you
follow
the
dream.
That's
in
your
heart!
That's
the
message.
I
have
for
the
young
people
in
this
room.
Follow
that
heart,
because
that
heart
will
tight,
take
you
where
you
want
to
go.
If
these
two
guys
didn't
do
what
they
did,
they
didn't
fall
that
hard.
They
wouldn't
be
sitting
in
a
CEO.
B
B
E
E
B
F
B
Was
my
former
congressman
Joe
Moakley?
He
was
a
guy
in
Southie.
He
represented
number
three
ranking
when
he
died
in
Congress.
He
was
a
state
representative,
a
state,
senator
city
councilor,
and
he
just
everyone
just
like
them,
and-
and
he
had
a
nice
way
that
he
listened
to
everybody
and
he
was.
He
was
progressive
back
in
a
daelin
progressive,
wasn't
popular
and
and
I
kind
of
just
there's
an
institute
named
over
at
Suffolk
University
for
him.
D
B
The
train
colors
are
beautiful.
The
red
blue,
orange,
yellow,
green,
no
yellow
I
feel
hilarious.
The
public
transportation
system
is
complicated
because
it's
not
run
by
the
city,
it's
run
by
the
state,
so
we
collectively
work
together
on
it.
One
of
the
challenges
that
we
have
in
Boston
and
Chicago
has
not
Chicago
we
have
New
York
has
Washington
has
that
we
have
an
infrastructure
that
needs
improvement.
One
thing
about
about
your
generation
and
tech
companies
is
you're
constantly
evolving
and
changing
one
thing
about
public
transportation.
B
Is
we
built
the
system
125
years
ago
and
we
didn't
change
at
all,
except
for
maybe
the
calls
of
the
Train.
So
a
couple
quick
things
number
one
is
governor's
committed:
eight
billion
dollar
investment
in
public
transportation,
meaning
upgrading
signals
operating
tracks,
buying
new
cars
that
needs
to
happen,
I
think
the
city.
The
state
also
has
to
start
thinking
about
more
energy,
efficient
ways
of
transportation.
We
have
to
think
about
electrifying
the
entire
fleet.
We
still
use
diesel.
We
need
to
get
away
from
that.
The
city
of
Boston
we're
working
on
plans.
B
We
have
a
plan
called
program
called
vision:
zero
for
zero
fatalities
of
people
on
bikes
and
pedestrians,
walking
across
the
street,
we're
building
more
dedicated
bike
lanes,
we'll
have
embedded
bike,
bicycle
connections,
better
pedestrian
connections,
trying
to
get
people
out
of
that
kind,
trying
to
get
people
to
slow
down.
So
that's
a
very
I
could
Safari
spend
an
hour
on
it,
but
the
bottom
line
is
the
changes
are
coming.
My
response
to
you
is:
everyone:
has
a
Twitter
handle
twitter
twitter
handle
tweet
out.
You
know
we
need
to
fix
the
t.
B
We
want
to
be
supportive.
We
need
to
fix
now
because
we
need
to
know.
We
need
to
know
that
as
a
mayor,
my
fear
with
public
transportation
is
we're
growing
in
such
a
big
clip.
We
have
a
hundred
twenty
thousand
new
people
living
and
working
in
Boston
that
weren't
working
here
five
years
ago.
My
concern
is
some
day
I'm
gonna
be
sitting
across
from
a
company,
they're
gonna
say
we
really
want
to
move
company
X
company
in
the
city
of
Boston.
B
G
A
question
I
like
God
Mike
before
the
last
question:
I
didn't:
have
it
the
whole
time,
so
my
question
is
so
you
guys
have
talked
a
lot
about
like
generations
and
like
different
and
I.
Really.
Thank
you
guys
for
calling
us
a
smart
generation.
I
think
we
are
too,
but
it.
How
is
our
generation
and
other
generations
that
are
here
and
that
work
here?
How
are
we
the
same,
and
why
is
that
good?
That's.
B
We
want
to
do
good
and
I
think
whether
whatever
that
is
and
I
think
we
we
adapt
with
the
change
in
time.
I'm,
for
example,
I
mean
when
I
was
growing
up.
The
generation
before
me
is
like
a
homie
and
I.
Remember
the
days
when
you
go
walk
down
the
store
and
there
was
no
problems
in
the
street,
it
was
great,
it
was
wasn't
it
wonderful,
it
was
great
and
in
my
generation
you
know,
as
we
got
all
the
saying.
Oh,
my
god,
this
generation
today
is
different
than
that
generation,
we're
kids.
We
it's
like.
B
We
might
trust,
definitely
in
different
phases,
and
we
might
look
differently
in
different
phases
and
we
might
talk
more
openly,
I
think
I
think
the
biggest
difference
is
today
it's
okay
to
talk
more
openly,
meaning
that
social
issues
gay
marriage
is
is
accepted.
If
you're
transgender,
it's
accepted.
It's
accepted
it's
okay!
To
talk!
It's
okay,
not
to
talk
about
the
okay,
for
most
people
feel
more
comfortable
who
they
are,
but
but
I
think
we'll
pretty
much
the
same
in
at
the
core.
In
the
heart,
yeah.
A
B
Think
I
think
you
have
to
in
some
of
these
books.
Probably
if
it's
not
somebody
should
write
it.
Things
come
fast.
It's
today
you
guys
meaning
like
if
like,
if
you
want
like,
if
you
wanted
the
new
pair
of
sneakers,
it's
like
okay,
again
they're
on
the
way
the
house
right
now,
I
take
up
the
phone
and
click
it
down
and
there
it
is
and
I
think
you
have
to
start
thinking
about
that
too.
B
In
the
neck
last
generation
I
mean
listen,
I
the
credit
card,
it's
like
if
I
want
some
I,
go
to
the
mall
or
go
the
store
and
buy
it
and
in
two
days
and
I
think
we
that's
one
of
the
differences,
but
we
still
have
that
sometimes
that
compulsory,
compulsiveness
and
I
think
that
sometimes
is
how
do
you
learn
not
to
have
that,
but
I,
don't
think,
there's
a
lot
of
difference
other
than
I
do
think
your
generation
certainly
has
a
lot
more
access
to
knowledge
than
my
generation.
Did.
B
B
What's
up
herbal
tea
at
Google
it'll
tell
you
used
to
be
a
country.
It
took
me
like,
like
seven
weeks,
to
figure
it
out
and
in
the
encyclopedia.
It
takes
seven
seconds
today
to
ask
Siri
right:
Siri
Siri,
tell
me
what
an
upper
voltar
is,
so
any
other
questions.
Yeah
like
three
moments:
that's
one,
the
radio
yeah
there's.
D
Yeah
I
feel
like
the
way
you
talk
you
you
speak
about
how
the
Boston
tech,
community
and
Boston
grows
together.
It's
not
like
an
us
versus
them
type
thing
yeah,
whereas
in
San,
Francisco
I
feel
like
it's
very,
like
they're
at
odds
with
each
other,
a
lot
and
even
New
York.
A
great
example
is
like
the
Amazon
situation
with
Queens,
where
people
were
like
opposed
to
it,
even
though
it
was
gonna
bring
jobs
and
I'm
curious
how
you
prevent
that
from
happening
in
Boston
like
how
you
think
about
it.
I.
B
Go
on
rooms
at
a
completely
opposite
of
yours
who
don't
want
development?
You
know
you
just
gotta,
you
gotta
tell
Boston
story.
I
gotta,
tell
the
story
of
Boston
I
mean
that
you
use
the
Olympic
thing,
I
mean
as
soon
as
you
know.
First
of
all,
when
Boston
was
we
went
out
to
Redwood
redwood
California
we're
going
up
against
LA
for
the
Olympics
LA.
It
hosted
them
in
1960
and
1964
they
go
84.
B
They
were
going
to
get
the
Olympics.
We
want
to
import
on
a
presentation
and
later
that
day
or
a
couple
weeks
later,
we
got
a
phone
call
they're
gonna
host.
We
got
off
at
the
2024
Olympics.
It
was
like
the
happiest
moment
for
me.
I'm,
like
oh,
my
god,
like
I'm
from
Boston
I,
grew
up
here
like
who
would
ever
thought
that
Boston
could
potentially
host
an
Olympics
like
that
doesn't
happen
here
that
happens
in
in
LA.
B
It
happens
in
England
that
happens
in
maybe
New
York,
and
but
it
doesn't
happen
here
and
what
we
weren't
prepared
for
is
the
next
day
the
the
questions
and
in
the
concerns
of
the
Olympics
and
all
all
the
chatter
and
I
learned
early
on
that
we
need
to
be
better
prepared
for
when
those
questions
come.
So
when
we
went
for
GE,
we
were
preparing
for
the
questions
of
not
welcome.
We
got
GE,
that's
the
greatest
thing
in
the
world.
I
was
concerned
about
how
much
money
did
you
give
them?
Do
you
give
them
money?
B
B
I
want
to
see
that
tech
sector
grow
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
in
the
region
of
this
area
we
have
sneaker
with
a
sneaker
shoe
capital.
If
you
will
people
don't
pay
attention
to
it,
but
and
jemmye
is
Boston
New
Balances
Boston
converses
headquarters
in
Boston
we
have
a
sixsome
Boston.
We
have
there's
an
Reebok
in
Bart,
there's
a
lot
of
companies
here.
So
it's.
How
do
you
promote
those
those
different
companies?
The
people
that
in
a
say,
is
you
know,
I?
Think
the
naysayers
is
my
god.
B
B
I
know
the
mayor,
great
guy,
Steve,
Adler
I,
don't
think
Austin
thirty
years
ago
was
known
as
a
hub
of
innovation
but
Adler's
making
some
huge
moves
out
in
Austin
and
he's
like
coming
on
strong,
because
when
you
talk
about
Texas
in
the
past,
you
talk
about
Dallas
you're,
talking
about
maybe
Houston
San,
Antonio
and
all
of
a
sudden
Austin
is
making
this
big
rush.
Why?
Because
they
want
to
want
to
get
talent
and
young
people
and
growth
in
the
city
and
I.
B
Think
that
that
you
know,
there's
other
cities
out
there
that
that
that
have
the
ability
to
really
take
off
to
the
next
level
and
I
want
I
want
Boston
to
be
on
that
in
that
stage
again
it's
about
competition
and
what
does
that
do
for
us
that
helps?
We
are
the
hub
of
the
northeast
of
the
country,
meaning
New
Yorkers
below
us
from
Boston
up
so
we're.
Basically,
I
did
I
us
to
the
capital
of
New
England
and
it's
so
important
for
a
successful
Boston,
because
if
it's
not
successful,
our
social
programs
get
hurt.
