Garrett shares his origin story—from sales jobs and a failed startup lesson (missing the “contract season”), to sleeping in a tent in the Reno winter while starting at Tesla, to becoming obsessed with one question: How do you sell without selling?

Why most pitches become a “bowl of spaghetti” (and how to find the golden thread)

The difference between sales and pitching—and why investors are trained to look for reasons to say no

How to build a pitch so the listener is one step ahead—so it feels like their idea
