The world needs people who are high performers and highly compassionate and graceful. By the way, you're all those things too. So it's not just about me. I feel that when I'm with you. I feel that with the people you work with. I feel that with friends we have in common. I know plenty of people that I think are wonderful people and operating at a really high level.

I also know people who are not doing that. And so you get best of both, but you get that everywhere. I just think it's what we need. And I think it's what we need to encourage. I think it's what needs to be taught at business school. I think it's what needs to be taught online.

Yeah, I think that, I mean, if you look at some of the greatest music artists in the world, their art comes from a really spiritual place. Like the artists I know, like the stuff that moves us, it didn't come from some strategic formulaic algorithm. It moved you because it came from someone's heart. There's a reason why that song made you cry.

And there's a reason why you wanted a song played at your wedding. There's a reason for that because it brought out real emotion. That didn't come from an algorithm or a formula.
And so I think we all know that real art, when you see it, when you feel it, like if you think about it, like all of our most special moments happen when we close our eyes, when we pray, when we kiss, when we meditate, when we take something in, like all of that happens in that moment.

No, you feel it, right?
Yeah. Like all the most like intimate, like deep felt moments. And there's something powerful about that. And I think that that makes us realize that you can't get an algorithm to do that.

And I think it would slow people down. I mean, there were years in my life where I worked 18 hour days and weekends and, you know, I work harder today than I did 10 years ago. So it's not about hard work and not, I think that has to be there. I think it's the work needs to be infused with a spirit and an energy that is about wanting to do something good or do something great to help people.
