But it's apparently "horrifying, absolutely horrifying":
Finance Conference Outraged After Billionaire Ken Fisher Shocks
With Crude Sexual Remarks
https://www.zerohedge.com/health/billionaire-ken-fisher-offends-financial-conference-audience-lewd-sexual-references
... billionaire Ken Fisher - whose firm manages more than $100
billion (for now, at least) - shocked attendees when he compared
gaining a client's trust to "trying to get into a girl's pants,"
... Doubling down on his jarring remarks, Fisher also noted that
executives who were "not comfortable talking about genitalia should
not be in the financial industry."
... Fisher referenced dropping acid and likened his employees to
cattle who needed to be branded.
Alex Chalekian, founder of Lake Avenue Financial, posted a video on
Twitter calling the remarks “absolutely horrifying.”
Chalekian conceded that "the way the summit is set up, it’s meant
to allow many of these icons in the industry to be comfortable, and
talk among their peers" before continuing by saying "But I just had
to open up and mention how disgusted I am."

Sonya Dreizler, a consultant who attended most of the fireside
chat, added: "Since this content is not about business issues, I’m
choosing to break that code of privacy to confirm that the comments
from the stage indeed were outrageous.”
... After reports of Fisher's comments made their rounds on
Wednesday, Fisher followed up by telling Bloomberg: “I have given a
lot of talks, a lot of times, in a lot of places and said stuff
like this and never gotten that type of response. Mostly the
audience understands what I am saying.”
“I regret I accepted that speech invitation because it was kind of
a pain in the neck,” he continued. "I wonder if anybody will be
candid at one of these Tiburon events again.”
... when asked what he would have done differently in his life, he
said he would “have more sex.”
