It's such a great question. I really appreciate you asking me this because no one's ever asked me this before. But obviously, we are taking on traditional employment in a command and control, Taylorism setting where people are just cogs on a wheel. They don't have emotions. They don't have feelings. They're just there to do a job. And we are in this era where we don't have to take that anymore.

We don't have to take someone's crap of making us feel bad. What we do need to recognize is we are in the era where we have the benefit of embracing life stage flexibility. Now, to the point, and obviously I don't know all the circumstances, it's not helping anybody.

If you've got a 26, 27-year-old who's downstairs in the basement and who plays video games all day and doesn't contribute to the rent or the food or things, the best thing you can do for any individual is get them out there to figure out survival because they'll learn so much about themselves.

And so that would be not my parenting recommendation, but even just from a neuro standpoint, if we don't use our brain, just like we don't use our physical bodies, eventually we deteriorate. And so it's really important that people identify authentically with what their interests and passions are, and then figure out how to make a living on that.

So the real messages that we want to get out there is traditional nine to five work has not worked for a long time. You could be a recent college grad and want to be in an office five days a week, but you don't need to be there all those hours. We can reduce traffic. We need to fix the planet. We need to clean it up.

But maybe you've had your first child and you only want to work two days a week and AI is going to give us that opportunity to do. And so we're at a remarkable period of time in which we have more choices, more opportunities than ever before. And so it's very exciting not only to see where work is heading, but where we as individuals head as individuals, as family members, as community members.

We are going to be in an era of not necessarily utopia, but certainly to have more freedom in the way that we want to live life and not be so beholden to traditional

Yes, absolutely. We will. I know Taiwan and I think China has bought the book as well. So we'll definitely be in Asia at some point. But I do want to share that you've asked me some very interesting questions. And I thank you for that because it makes it for a much more dynamic interview.

Thank you so much, Vince. It's such a pleasure to be here. Thank you for allowing me to share my story because I think my story, my background is so critical how I now see the world. And so prior to coming to Silicon Valley, I had spent 18 years in Washington, D.C. I worked on Capitol Hill. I worked in the White House. I was appointed into one of the

Thank you so much, Vince. It's such a pleasure to be here. Thank you for allowing me to share my story because I think my story, my background is so critical how I now see the world. And so prior to coming to Silicon Valley, I had spent 18 years in Washington, D.C. I worked on Capitol Hill. I worked in the White House. I was appointed into one of the

presidential administrations, and then I ended up following into media as an on-air commentator with MSNBC, Fox News, and CNN. And then DC ended up writing my first book. But when I realized when we moved to the West Coast and Silicon Valley, I really had to spend 18 years doing two things. Two things I learned how to do really well.
