but he came to harvard university where i was a graduate student and wanted to speak to students about the merits of counterinsurgency approach to fighting the iraq war, which we were losing at the time. and he invited a group of veterans of young students to meet with him after his presentation. i went up to him and said i think it i am writing a paper that will help you, and he was kind enough to indulge me take the paper and give me his business card. as he does with a lot of young soldier scholars. he is very open-minded about taking ideas from anyone and everyone. it is known as directed telescoping, reaching out to those in different sectors and failed. so we kept in touch via e-mail for a couple of years. and i was still graduate student. two years later, i reached out to him and asked if he would speak to a group of students at harvard who were trying to find ways to galvanize greater cooperation amongst the intelligence community, the military community and other national security organizations. but we, as midgrade field officers were frustrated seeing a lack of cooperation. h

you were 21 at harvard university and you're thinking what?alized there was no way to send an invitation online that reflected how much care and thought had gone into the event. the only way was to send it through a service like evite. i thought there matt schaub way to combine the beauty and customization of paper stationary with the efficiency of online communication. i sort of had the idea. >> so what did you then do when you had the idea? >> i called my sister. >> yeah. >> and sister said? >> yeah so actually he talked -- he told me about this idea. and i listened. he's not the one that normally gets excited about ideas. he's actually much more cynical and much more -- but i imagine the service where you can see it really looks like paper stationary. you see the grain of the paper and the font of the colors, but it's delivered all online. i think people would use it. i think they'd love it. >> and the thing about your site, your invitations are so beautiful. right now, as it turns out, working on the "cbs this morning" christmas party, do
