I'm not the smartest.

You're pretty damn eloquent.

Well, I had to work on it.

That's like the hard thing.

Thank you.

But it's really a work product.

I wish there was more recorded stuff on myself when I was like 20 and 21 because I was not great.

I was quite terrible.

And so I've just learned that it's a superpower thing.

And something I have to work on is getting my message across to other people to believe what I'm believing and see what I'm seeing in order to get them to want to come and join whatever thing we're trying to will into this world.

I think yes and no.

So I feel different in the same way a 40-year-old would feel different than a 10-year-old would do.

I feel different in I'm a product of all the experiences of my life.

And obviously I've been incredibly fortunate to – I was counting the other day.

I've been to like 130 countries or something in my life.

I've seen so many cultures, so many people.

I have friends all over the world.

All of that has shaped me into who I am.

I don't feel difference because innately many of the things, the drive, the long-termness, the obsession, this sort of willingness on the paradox of winning on the one hand, but then also trying to truly find a win-win and work with people to try to find a win-win, which is really important to me.

has always been there.
