But it was a great life experience.

Met some amazing people, traveled around, slept in train stations on our park benches and under people's laundry and all sorts of crap.

And it was really, really fun.

I had the time of my life.

And the fact that I had to make new friends every three years on average made it easy for me to engage with people who I didn't know.

I wasn't even afraid of it.

So I made some really good friends and traveled with some great people and had a lot of fun.

And then I came back and I, again, still kind of didn't know what I wanted to do.

when we were growing up.

And that was his main role.

And he made a lot of mistakes because of that, as far as relationships go.

Leap Academy with Ilana Golan

I didn't really have a good relationship with him until I was in college.

And he could address me more as an adult because that was his wheelhouse.

Leap Academy with Ilana Golan
Qualcomm CMO Don McGuire: How to Stay Relevant, Resilient, and Ready for Change | E152

Wasn't so good with the younger years, but when he could have an adult conversation, he was good with that because he could talk about what he knew.

Leap Academy with Ilana Golan

So when I came back, he was like, what are you thinking?

Leap Academy with Ilana Golan
Qualcomm CMO Don McGuire: How to Stay Relevant, Resilient, and Ready for Change | E152

I was like, I don't know.

Leap Academy with Ilana Golan

He's like, well, you know, there's this new thing.
