Thanks to Alberto introducing him to others, Aldo's network and knowledge "flowered".Aldo praises Alberto's welcoming nature, noting that he is "very easy to talk to" and is not a "gatekeeper". This accessibility is what gave Aldo the comfort and courage to grab the microphone and speak up for the first time.Reflecting on that exact moment, Aldo confidently states that the decision to participate in Alberto's space "catapulted" him. He stresses that if he had not spoken up that day, the course of his last five years "would have played differently".Finally, illustrating their close friendship and camaraderie, Aldo playfully teases Alberto and their friend Carl by calling them "dinosaurs," jokingly referring to their older age and deep, long-standing experience in the tech industry.
