in my personal life i'm basically a pretty mellow and passive guy. in running a business however, i'm nice to genuinely nice people (not 'niceguys') and an absolute galaxy-sized asshole to jerks, because generally they're coming after something of mine or my team's and not at all subtle about it. when peoples' livelihoods and money are on the line there's absolutely no backing down or you're going to get chewed up by these kinds of people. it's the sociopathic types you really have to worry about because they're both at the same time. the only upside to a jerk is they're transparent and it's usually not personal, they're just a jerk to everyone.
