pep talks and training
sessions (founder Marc Benioff did not appear the week I was there, but his aura was everywhere); free run of the City by the Bay after hours; and the glow, the buzz, the grace that imbue Salesforce's vibrant headquarters in San Francisco's SoMa district, reminding initiates at every turn that they're part of something special.
If nothing else, it offers «the mirror scene,» Rudd's filthy, improvised
pep talk before a free - love
session he professes to want, even though the reality of it clearly terrifies him.
