00:00My friend Eric Schmidt used to tell me that cash is king, and when he would say that to me, and he was on our board,
00:08I would say to him, well, if cash is king, culture is queen.
00:13The worst advice business-wise I ever got was when I first started our company.
00:19I was told to never, ever say business and purpose in the same sentence,
00:24because I started my company to start a foundation, and that was the beginning of my entire business plan.
00:31So I'm so happy I didn't listen, and I'm so happy that I did tell that person
00:38that now, today, companies are not innovative without purpose.
