Harley Finkelstein

This next year, I think I can, like, I think there's another gear left.

That's actually the gift that he has given me in my career is that he's consistently over, you know, almost two decade period.

He has been the person more than anyone in my life, maybe other than Lindsay, who has seen a better version of me than I saw for myself.

He keeps reminding me all the time.

It happened a couple weeks ago.

We were on an offsite that there is another gear in me.

And so now he presents that, that optionality, that, that, that, that opportunity.

And now it's up to me to actually go through.

Um, and I think for someone with my personality, with someone with my ambition, that works very well for me.

He's much more German about it.

Um,

Which is funny because he sort of calls it the German, it's like the German thing for him, but it's actually also like the Jewish mother thing for me, which is, you know, you just got 98% on your exam, you go show your mom, and your mom says, great, what happened to the other 2%?

Which actually I've now learned it's actually very much a, at least the way it's been described to me, is that it's actually an immigrant thing, that a lot of immigrant parents are like that.

Like, that's great, but like, what happened here?

How can you do better?

So that's part of it.

The other part of it is just that when he gives me

a compliment it is because i went i went so above and beyond like he basically sets a bar for me of what great looks like and doing my job really well is the expectation knocking out of the park going like resetting what corporate storytelling looks like or how to do you know earnings and

when you do that exceptionally well, that's when he says, that was a great job.

And he's very thoughtful about how he explains, how he gives those, that was really great.
