Scott Galloway recounted an incident where a crude joke he told before a meeting with the chief investment officer of JP Morgan, Michael, offended him. Galloway declared he would only tell dad jokes until Michael accepted his apology, emphasizing the importance of apologizing when upsetting others.
“So from this point forward, I'm only doing dad jokes until Michael Symonds, chief investment officer of JP Morgan, accepts my apology.”
“Michael, we didn't mean to embarrass you.”
“Well, I also want to, I'm also not a sociopath. I think if you upset people, it's okay to apologize.”
