Are there words that you sort of live by that guide who you are?

Yeah.

So Lev, now we know a little bit about your background.

We talked a little bit about just high level on Cleveland and where we met, a little bit about your music and your mantra.

But tell us more.

Who are you?

Who is Lev Gonick?

What's your life story?

Yeah, no, that's a great synopsis of your career and some of the sort of the pivotal moments that helped shape who you are.

What are one or two high points along the way?

And then I want to talk about ASU and higher education.

Yeah, no, I love that mission.

You've always been a missional type of leader.

So that's super.

And last thing on the career, because I know a lot of people always have questions about this as well.

You're able to carve out a little bit of time to serve on some advisory boards or boards.

What would be your record?

Tell us the positive attributes of doing that.

Why should someone serve on some other boards?

Yeah, I'm just smiling because, you know, when you give some of those examples, I'm thinking, oh my gosh, that's where I learned that.
