One of my biggest hopes, Robin, is that we change what we value in leadership.

There's a cluster of personality traits that are called the dark triad.

They are narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy.

And this is the exact opposite of what we should be looking for in leadership.

I would love to see that tide turn in 2026.

I would love for boards of directors when it comes to choosing CEOs, voters when it comes to

it comes to electing politicians to put their foot down and say character matters as much as competence and charisma.

And if you are not willing to put the best interests of the collective above yourself, you are unfit to lead.

It's great to be here, Robin.

Thanks for having me.

Uh I think it's changed over time.

I think when I first started coming, people mostly wanted career and leadership advice.

And now I'm hearing many more questions about how do I drive major changes?

How do I shift a culture?

Can I get a selfie occasionally?

Which I never know why anyone wants that.

But uh I think I think people are really thinking more globally and more macro about how do we fix

Broken systems.

I think the I don't know, the question I'm always excited to get is what's something you learned lately that surprised you or changed your mind?

You know, what one of my big surprises recently was there's this whole debate about int attention spans.
