The WWE story was interesting. My boss at the time decided that he thought that I could help Vince McMahon and his team develop stories for the wrestling world. Now, mind you, I had never watched one of his shows in my life. I didn't even know really what it was. And it was just mind blowing to me. But I felt, OK, if it didn't work, I didn't like it.

I could always quit, but I might as well try it. And I remember going up to the Stanford Connecticut offices and walking in this room with these big, oversized guys. I was the only chick in the room and I'm only just under 5'4". And I remember walking in and trying to figure out what am I going to say to these guys? You know, I was put into their world by my boss. They didn't ask for me.

And I remember when Vince came in, he literally looked at me and all he said was, so? And I took a deep breath and I said, Vince, up until two weeks ago, I never watched one of your shows. I surely was never in a stadium to watch one of your live events. So I don't know anything about what your world is. The only thing I know is how to develop stories, how to create great characters.

And that's how I can help you. And he just said to me, thanks for being honest. Let's go. And we worked together for over 20 years and had an amazing relationship in a world that was completely foreign to me.

I have a saying that I've often said to myself, you don't have to and shouldn't be the smartest one in the room. You should surround yourself with great people, with smarter people, and always have the smartest one you know on speed dial. to pretend to be the smartest in the room or to act like that basically shuts down everybody else. And that's such an unhealthy world to be in.

If you sit back, ask questions, let others have conversations around you, you get a much better project property show because you are inclusive. So you usually come out with the best idea.

To me, you are only as good as the people who surround you. I don't think I would be anywhere near where I am now without the people who have surrounded me, who I've hired, or who have been given to me by others in terms of the professional world. Anybody who believes they can do it themselves, I personally think are lying.

But the truth is, even if they are smarter and better, the journey is a lot less fun.

Well, it's a really complicated question right now for a variety of reasons. I think kids need encouragement and you need to have them believe that if they work hard enough at something,

they can do pretty much anything they want to do but it takes work and they have to prove their worth by their hard work but what's happening in the work world right now and i think in life in general that the pendulum has swung so far out there that being able to critique
