When I worked at Mailchimp I ran a manager training program and on the first day of each session, our cofounder Dan Kurzius would kick things off. Ostensibly the talk was meant to stress the importance of the program and motivate everyone to give it their best. In reality it was about whatever Dan wanted to talk about that day. (I was fine with this—when the company you started is worth $12 billion this is how it works.)
