Jared Kushner

A very entertaining read and something that at least gave me encouragement to keep going when the task I was pursuing seemed so, so, so large.

I think you have to be respectful to the craft that you're in where words matter, but then realize that they don't matter as much.

And then also...

focus on the fact that the actions are actually what's gonna matter more than the words.

And so you have a difference between leaders and politicians.

Politicians are there to say the right thing and to hold the power.

Leaders are people who are willing to do things that will be transformational from my perspective.

And so when I would think about diplomacy,

words without actions or without the threat of actions.

And that was something that President Trump did very well, was that people knew that he was willing to take action.

He was very unpredictable in how he would act.

And that made our words much more effective in what they did.

So it's all a combination.

But

Coming from the private sector, we were all about results, right?

If you're in government, you can work on something for 10 years and fail and then retire and they consider you an expert.

In the private sector, if you work on something for 10 weeks and you don't have a success, then you're unemployed.

So it's a different kind of notion.

And it was just understanding the mentality and trying to adjust and bridging the divides between the different trainings.

Yeah.
