I think there were a lot of people...

#399 β Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East
who are much better at me than being communicators.

So I was very happy that they were willing to do it because it wasn't something that I had a lot of experience with or necessarily I thought I was very good at.

Number one is I would say you just have to work hard at everything you do.

Um, number two, I would say never stop learning and always try to say yes more than you should go out of your comfort zone.

And I think just, just, you gotta work hard at everything you do.

I said, I'll leave at eight o'clock.

He said, well, what if there's traffic?
Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 β Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East
I said, dad, I've done this drive a thousand times.

#399 β Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East
Like there's never traffic.

He said, what if there's an accident?
Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 β Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East
I said, I can't control that.
