There is something to just sheer work ethic that counts for something.

So talking of hard things, because I think there will be so many people that are sitting there in a corporate career. And I do think to some degree there is a blueprint for getting promoted, for moving through a job in the way that you have. So what do you tell people?

It's just so interesting. Yes, a lot.
