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