You know,

The way I think about this job is it's like a leadership position.

And I've learned that more and more as I've done it.

And it's like right in the title, it's a general manager.

And so, you know, as much as you're trying to find competitive advantages, and I think that is a role of a general manager, is, you know, what's our right to win?

What's our edge?

I think there's advantage in sports science and a lot of these emerging technologies and fields.

And if you can do that successfully, I think those are the teams that win.

And if you do one or the other, I think, you know, you're probably beta and you're, you know, always scrapping it out.
