This is a dream, dream job.
CCO of Netflix didn't exist in a global way, right, that this job does.
Streaming didn't exist.

I couldn't dream it this time.
So I was like, actually, the dream wasn't too big.

One part, I think, of the drive and the work ethic is I was the oldest kid and I understood and saw, because I was sitting in the UK and then moved here, obviously, the sacrifice my parents made.
So the responsibility that I felt to make it was real.
I felt to make good on what they did and what they sacrificed, it was important that I made it.
