Like, I'm like, no, this is, like, this is, like, our love language.
Like, we're having a conversation.
But I think it was really fun, you know, to be in an environment that encouraged that because I think that's, you know,
That sort of intellectual curiosity and spirited debate, I think, is so much at the heart of like creating good ideas.
And that's really, really valuable.
but also to develop at the same time a willingness to be open-minded when you're wrong, right?
And I think that's where that focus on that intellectual integrity is so important because the dinner table was about getting to the right answer, not being right.
And that was a really interesting dynamic, I think.
I can be.
But if you know you're wrong, you'll admit you're wrong or you'll hold?
To me, the entire game is how quickly can you change your mind once you find out you're wrong.
I think, you know, for example, when we're working on a new product in our company or I'm really holding my ground on a feature, as soon as somebody...
proves I'm wrong or shows me our customers are looking for something different or has a better idea, what we always try to reward is the speed at which you admit you're wrong and change.
And so for us in our company, we're not necessarily looking for folks who are always right, because it's impossible to always be right.
In fact, like quite a lot of the time, even the smartest people in the world are wrong.
So the question is how quickly can you adapt and change?
How quickly can you say, you're totally right, my mistake, let's change direction.
And by rewarding that behavior, you have an organization that grows and learns very, very quickly compared to an organization that rewards people who are right the first time.
I mean, who cares, right?
We're trying to get to the right answer to the fastest.
