Transcript
00:00You've been held up as a leader for your whole life in a lot of ways. I wonder
00:04do you remember the moment you first realized that people were kind of
00:07looking to you to lead and how did it feel? How did that responsibility feel
00:10for you? I remember in fourth grade I think I was secretary of the bicycle
00:15committee but everybody was always pushing me to lead. Followers choose
00:20leaders, leaders don't choose followers. And these kids you know my teammates, my
00:27schoolmates always pushed me in everyday life like in the morning at 830 there'd
00:34be a bell and we'd run to the fence and choose teams. Well I was either number
00:37one or two with Jerry Cromwell. We always won the race and so we were the captains
00:41and we would choose teams. And the main thing I remember I didn't choose the top
00:46kids all the time. I would choose the worst kids sometimes first or in the
00:49middle and he or she were so especially this one little guy he was so happy that
00:55I would choose him because he's always last and that is horrible for them. So I
01:00kept mixing it up because we're all gonna choose everybody anyway so don't do
01:05the worst one last. That's horrible for this child. You know just put yourself in
01:09his shoes. I would hate that. So I sometimes I choose him first and this one
01:13little guy go he was so happy and everybody's saying why did you get him?
01:18He's the worst player. I said because we're gonna we're gonna be divided anyway
01:21totally. Does it matter really? I said does it? And I went yeah I guess it doesn't.
