We want people that can play tennis so they can debate, not the, my baby's the prettiest type people.

And then the last one, this is something my dad taught me about facing the tiger.

My dad's a crazy person.

He's like a black belt, yells at the TV.

He's probably listened to this, but he's a pretty tough guy, but he always taught me growing up, you got to learn how to face the tiger.

By the way, when you go to Sixth Street's offices, when you get off the elevator, there's a big tiger just staring at you.

And there's three elevators.

And no matter what elevator you get off, it's staring at you.

It's huge.

Five feet.

You'll come to our offices one day.

The idea on culture is that when something goes wrong or there's a challenge, you go through different things.

Most people are like pointing their fingers at other people or it's not my fault or they're running away.

At Sixth Street, we're like, good, let's go.

And we say, let's face the tiger together.

The first thing is defining values and culture in our investment philosophy, which we spoke about.

But then what's our genetic code?

For us, the most important thing about our genetic code is we want to be an investor-first firm.

We love investing.

We love this idea, this process we go through.
