Joe: I'm going to wear oversized career fair swag and metal rimmed glasses to nerd overcompensate. That way they'll be repulsed by me.

The condition associated with former founders who've had success with one company and are stunted by the task of deciding what to work on next with heightened expectations and desires for it to be even bigger. This condition becomes especially petrifying when the founder has seen 1000's of ideas by that point in time, with no coherent pattern of success.
