First of all, I think there are a few things more obnoxious in life
00:03
than CEOs complaining about how hard their life is.
00:08
Fair enough.
00:13
You know, I didn't grow up thinking I would get even half a chance at this.
00:18
And it is such a privilege.
00:22
And as I said at the beginning of your first question,
00:24
you just hope that in the time that you are given the responsibility to do something like this,
00:31
you make it better than it was when you started.
00:35
And you hope the person that follows you makes it better again
00:38
and that you are equipping them to accelerate.
00:43
I think what's true, and I'm sure those in the room who have served as CEOs or who aspire to that,
00:50
is if you have a chance to do it, I'd run at it with full and brave hearts
00:57
and the biggest dreams you possibly can for impact.
01:01
But I would do it eyes wide open because to your question,
01:06
I mean, I think you have to be prepared for the things you don't get to do
01:11
if you want to do this job.
