That's when it all kind of falls apart because true success is elevating other people. And so if you do those things every day, then every day you're going to be a little bit better. And you're going to look up after a year, after five years, after 10 years and say, man, we really have come a long way, although I don't remember getting here. Those are the things I would do.

You know, I think everybody, every reasonable person would agree that you shouldn't make business decisions based on accidental factors like race and gender and sexual preference and all of those things. And I really think that if I was a decision maker, I would be thinking every day, okay, how can I eliminate the implication that that might even be a factor?

And I think one of those things is in order to create, first of all, I say diversity in a business is death. And by that, I mean true diversity. And true diversity is when you have a diverse opinion on what the mission of the organization is. Now, color, gender, all those things are accidental in the true scholastic definition of accidents, right?

I mean, as long as you have people that are mission-focused, then it doesn't matter. All those other things don't matter. But if you're a white guy like me, I got to go outside of my sphere of influence to make sure that those accidents are purely accidental. In other words, I've got to go out and go where other people are more diverse areas and make sure that I'm recruiting at HCBUs.

I'm recruiting in the Latino community. I'm going to the women's lawyers organizations and meeting people and making relationships so that when I'm recruiting, I'm recruiting across the vast spectrum. Because again, the number of people who meet my mission is a limited number amongst the universe of everyone on the planet.

I've got to really expand my scope of recruitment just beyond my little circle of friends. And that's the way that you really do increase diversity in terms of those accidental characteristics that people have is to really expand your view.

Stephanie, I appreciate it. Really enjoyed talking with you.
