Today a news station came into the Dwolla office to take some quick footage of all of us for a segment on Iowa. I did all the proper prep work to get ready. I put on my lipstick, wiped the grease off my t-zone, and ate an Altoid (because viewers can tell when you have bad breath). When the camera guy came around to where I was sitting, I knew I needed to look important, fast. I had just finished my last work email, so I was fresh out of material to look busy.

I panicked.

I quickly started writing myself an email to look busy and important. I even pushed extra hard on the computer keys to make it look like I had conviction.

This is the email I sent myself:

I stand by every word I said.
