I think about it a lot to today.
And I will tell you what I learned when I became culturally pop, culturally popular and am navigating it the way I'm navigating it.
I realized no different than I wasn't willing to hurt someone's feelings to be able to make out with the prettiest girls in my high school, even though it was wildly tempting.
I am also not willing to do what many are doing right now, which is sell fear so that I can make more money to buy a Lamborghini.
It's actually why I enjoy being professionally successful because it allows a young male, young women.
I have plenty of young women entrepreneur brands.
But, you know, I think it's important for people to see.
You know, the reason I believe in inclusion is I think it's important for someone to see someone like them winning so that it can become real.
You know, if you're Filipino and Manny Pacquiao is winning titles in the boxing ring, it just feels a certain way.
You're like, that's like, you know, oh, I'm like that.
Like, I always want everyone to just be binary team human, but it is not lost on me that we identify with our race and religion and gender and location.
love being financially and professionally successful because I think, I hope it seduces other people that are also nice to realize you don't have to compromise it.
Nice guys do finish first.
No, you don't, you have to have sharp elbows or be a jerk off.
You know, I remember when I was very critical of Steve Jobs's management style at the height of Steve Jobs and Silicon Valley like razzed me for it.
But I just and I remember one friend being like, what are you trying to do here?
I'm like, what do you mean?
He thought it was like some sort of shtick that I was trying to use Steve to build myself up.
