And how would you describe your leadership style and how's that evolved over the years?
The more you know, the more you realise you don't know.
it old school leadership.
I love that sort of mental model of knowing that in certain situations things are required, but generally speaking I will apply whatever is needed to make sure this works.
And to maintain that high expectation of outcome is important in that as well.

I I love that.

Uh, I haven't mentioned you you run marathons, you've got five kids as and your wife's a highly successful business person in her own right.

And it is a skill, to be clear, people think, Oh, I'll just go and lie on the beach and switch off but they can't switch off.
They're still thinking about their business because that is essentially their deepest passion.
Yes.
What they're giving their whole working life to is their deepest passion.
