It's important for us, even though that's not where you make money.

Those are the worst hours of ROI that you can possibly get is taking a deal that's gone sideways and trying to fix it.

It's really satisfying on the few times that you can actually turn it around and just feels like it's the right thing to do.

Mentoring has always been an area where some of it might be broadly self-interested, but most of that is selfless.

And I've had two examples, but my first job at Warburg, the person I worked for there pulled me out of a hat in terms of resume, saw something in me that no one else did.

I think I tried getting a job at a hundred firms and he was the only one who was willing to hire me.

I learned a lot in that experience as well.

But then I think when I started Insight, we sort of randomly bumped into an individual by the name of Steve Friedman, who's the just then retired CEO of Goldman Sachs.

I think it was a mutual connection from one of the high net worth guys at Goldman that knew one of my partners.

Steve, for reasons I still don't know, one of the nicest guys I've ever met, took me under and gave me amazing counsel in the first decade.

ultimately introduced me to his co-CEO, Bob Rubin, who also became part of that mentoring and just was such a nice access for me who had no one else to talk to.

Nice to air issues, challenges, and focus.

So that to me was certainly one of the best things that happened to my career.

Incredible.
